I found a good gist online for what I am after in case anyone needs it:
def getMayaStatusLine():
gStatusLine = mel.eval('$temp=$gStatusLineForm')
ptr = apiUI.MQtUtil.findControl(gStatusLine)
print ptr
if ptr is not None:
statusLine = shiboken2.wrapInstance(long(ptr), QtWidgets.QWidget)
return statusLine.children()[1].children()[1]
