Get position coordinates of objects

You can recover the position coordinates (specified in the Global Coordinate System) of an object by using the following code:
my_object.get_position ()

Limitations

a/
my_object.get_position () does not return the correct coordinates of "my_object" if my_object has been rotated before with either my_object.rotate_to_look_at () or rotate_to_look_at_in_opposite_direction ().
b/
This limitation also occurs if the parent of "my_object" (if there is a parent) has been rotated either with my_object.rotate_to_look_at () or my_object.rotate_to_look_at_in_opposite_direction ().
