There is also the decomposeMatrix node, and the worldMatrix slot of
transforms.
my_transform, my_shape = cmds.polyCube()
decompose = cmds.createNode('decomposeMatrix')
cmds.connectAttr(my_transform + ".worldMatrix", decompose + ".inputMatrix")
cmds.getAttr(decompose + ".outputScale")
This will give you the worldspace equivalent of all transform channels in
real-time.
cmds.getAttr(decompose + ".outputTranslate")
cmds.getAttr(decompose + ".outputRotate")
cmds.getAttr(decompose + ".outputShear")
...
