thanks for quick reaction, here another quick one to answer your question:

(as mentioned in the original post), the whole thing is available from 
http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/engine/KyperMover . that part is in the 
kyperjokki-module, which is 
http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/engine/kyperjokki.py

i'm sorry i didn't do a simple test myself, but could not imagine that any
case could be meaningfully simpler than that. i suppose you tested with
the release version. oh and i suppose <levon> used that too -- i haven't
tried 2.34 myself yet (was busy with other things till now, but will take
the time now)
