[Bf-python] obj.setLocation(x, y, z) and obj.LocX=x don't seem to work

[andrew2006 at flight.us]

hi, all
 
i am very new to both blender, python and blender python.
 
I have a rudimentary script creating a mesh primitive (cylinder)
I get the object handle like so: obj=Blender.Object.Get('cylmesh')
 
then I do  
obj.setLocation(x,y,0.5)
 
-- or, alternatively ---
obj.LocX=x
obj.LocY=y
(my "x" and "y" are non-zero)
 
but the mesh stays at the origin
 
the "setLocation()" call doesn't seem to have an effect, nor do the "Loc[X,Y,Z]"
assignments
 
yet, there are no errors reported
 
blender version: 2.49b
