I think Bushi may have a good answer for this. In the meantime, here's my 2 cents... The regular joint angles for a point-at are just as wrong in Python as in the normal Poser world. But Python can read an internal measurement (quaternion) that does seem to reflect the point-target movement. So it's certainly possible to record the point-at moves. Putting them back is the problem. At one time I had a formula for turning quaternions into joint rotations; have to see if I can find that again.
