Blender pdf manual has this tutorial.

Your First Animation in 30 plus 30 Minutes Part I. This chapter will guide you through the animation of a small "Gingerbread Man" character.

I try to convert it to blenderpython, by using keyboard and mouse as instructed, then extract script from info window, which only shows lines starting with bpy. Therefore, I need to manually type in the first command, import bpy. Second command works, third command gives error.

I would like complete blenderpython script, that makes and animates a simple object, that requires no gui.
