python: Session from mysql save as xml?

[stoughto]

I would like to run a script to backup a a gnucash book, using python:

from gnucash import *
session = Session("mysql://username:password@localhost/gnucash")
saveFileName = "backup-12345.xml"
session.saveAs(saveFileName)


The method I am missing is "Session.saveAs(fileName)"

Does such a thing exist, or if not, can someone suggest how to implement
such a thing?

This does not have to be a method of the class Session.  Filling in the
details of this function def would work just as well:

def saveSessionToFile(session, fileName):
    # open the xml file
    # write the session to it
    # close whatever needs to be closed
    return

Thank you
