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

[Glen Pike]

  Hmm,

     Okay...

     Not sure about dynamic meshes - check you are not still in Editing 
mode 
http://www.blender.org/documentation/249PythonDoc/Window-module.html#EditMode

     1.    Try moving an object you have not created with a script - you 
probably did that already.
     2.    Try placing your mesh at a non-zero location - might be a 
problem when creating it.
     3.    When you get your mesh, can you see the location from 
getLocation()?

     Apart from that I can't really help much, sorry.

     Glen
