Cool, thanks Kurianos3d, but I was looking for a way to save wire weights not skin weights.

For anyone else interested, you can import and export all attribute maps (cluster weights, wire weights, etc) with the artAttrCtx command.

I found it easier to use the tool dialog callback (because the documentation on artAttrCtx is vague)

select the object that has wire deformers on it;
artSetToolAndSelectAttr( "artAttrCtx", "wire.LBottomWire.weights" ); // to select the wire
artExportAttrMapCB artAttrCtx "C:/weightmap.tif" "map"; // this sets the file name and exports

thanks again, and i hope this helps somebody
