thanks for making the page, felt helpful in getting back to this, even tho i 
read the emails first .. commented a bit there in what seemed like a 
problematic (well, only as in 'not-so-nice') part to me: (copy-paste follows)

ipo[Ipo.MA_R] = BezTriple((0,0,0))

especially the fact that Ipo[MA_R] won't be a BezTriple instance, even though 
it seemed that one was assigned there (i understand the logic .. adding a 
control point i.e. a beztriple creates a curve and puts they key there, but 
it does not change the fact that such an api is weird). Are there 
alternatives? Perhaps being able to just assign values, to not have to know 
that awkward class name? ipo[channel] = (timeframe, value) ?

sorry, i have no clue off-hand about that.
