cool, this is in my todo for tomorrow actually - needed the finish the 
switchboard animation script for the Elephants Dream

i did not read the full of this, but seems surely interesting - you can see 
our 'semifinal'at http://www.blender.org/~antont/makewireipos.py

in our todo is still to put like a 'wave effect' to the moving wires, a little 
bit like noise .. but really soft, perhaps even just a sin .. 

ipo generation is really easy, nice and fast from py it seems ..
