Robofont script for aligning selected points

pointselection_alignPoints.py

# Simple align points script for Robofont.
# I have set this to shortcut ctrl-a


def average(coord_list):
    coord_sum = sum(coord_list)
    return int(round(coord_sum / len(coord_list)))


def distance(coord_list):
    vList = [value for value in coord_list]
    return max(vList) - min(vList)


g = CurrentGlyph()
g.prepareUndo('align points')
s = g.selection

xList = []
yList = []

for point in s:
    xList.append(point.x)
    yList.append(point.y)

for point in s:
    if distance(xList) < distance(yList):
        point.x = average(xList)
    else:
        point.y = average(yList)

g.update()
g.performUndo()

Amazing! Just what I needed.
