This isn't a bad idea, I contemplated it some time ago too. The external
interface (socket) does something pretty similar. It effectively takes
board state and dumps back the move string. I use the Python interface
for simulations and data extraction, but I could see this being
beneficial for someone who may also be using Python to interface with
another source (a server like FIBS etc).

I could see about producing a function like movetupletostring on the
weekend taking board state and move tuple as parameters. I'm pretty busy
during the week so can't look at it immediately. It should be trivial to
implement.
