Python/Pyro sends a string to the IBB like "D(0.5,0.5)"; the IBB grabs/parses the 1st character from the input string. Dependent on that character the IBB does a specific action. In this case it would be move. Then the two values inside of the parenthesis are used within the specified function. In this case they would be (translate,rotate).
