Python: proportional editing vertex move I'm new to scripting in blender. Is there a way to proportional-edit a vertex through python?

I want translate a vertex along z, with all vertexes between that and local_Z=0 moving accordingly like they would in proportional editing

This is a graphical representation:
look at the doc: http://www.blender.org/api/blender_python_api_2_76_release/bpy.ops.transform.html?highlight=proportional#bpy.ops.transform.transform

By the way you can look in the 'action log' of the info editor (window header). enlarge it, sroll down, select entry it with your select mouse button and use CtrlC to copy the command for your action
