I have expeimented with qtile-cmd and almost got it.

This give you the group on screen 0
  qtile-cmd -o cmd -f screens | grep -m 1 group | cut -f4 -d"'"

But I have problem with the next command, toscreen, I can't find the correct 
syntax
  qtile-cmd -o group <group_name> -f toscreen -a 1

So together it should be
  qtile-cmd -o group $(qtile-cmd -o cmd -f screens | grep -m 1 group | cut -f4 
-d"'") -f toscreen -a 1

But I get the following error:
  error: Sorry cannot run function 'toscreen' with arguments ['1']

So if we could find the correct syntax on the last one I think this should work.
This is can probably be done better in Python, but I have no clue howto.
