Well I'm sympathetic to the query, although I don't know the answer
myself. However, you will gain a bit more support (and maybe even the
answer) if you were to put something like:

  save clipboard CF_ENHMETAFILE to file

or some similar search string into your search engine of choice,
and try out some of the solutions which appear. Feel free to
come back if you're not sure how to implement them in Python,
but showing that you've made some effort will gain you more
traction than coming empty-handed for a solution, methinks.
