As much as I love python and am advocating its use where it makes sense, it's 
certainly not a wise choice for treating real time data, such as 
accelerometer values. I'd recommend using accelges, if necessary, enhancing 
it to feature the moves you want to recognize, and then react to its dbus 
signals.
