Thanks Sachin.

In case other people are also interested in using move_arm from
python, my python equivalent for the MoveArmPoseGoalComplex
tutorial is at -

http://code.google.com/p/gt-ros-pkg/source/browse/trunk/hrl/hrl_simple_arm_goals/src/hrl_simple_arm_goals/move_arm_pose_goal.py

It does the same thing as the C++ tutorial (in simulation).
