Kivy Get Position of Widget in Scatter while moving it

I searched a lot for it bit i didn't find a solution. I would like to grab a widget in a kivy scatter and get the position of it each time i move it. So it could like so:

def onmove_in_scatter(args):
    x = args[0]
    y = args[1]
    print("You are currently here: "+str(x)+":"+str(y))

It's important that the function is called WHILE i move the widget.

When I want to do something like this I override the on_touch_move.

Here is a full* working example. (just put a cat.png somewhere...)

import kivy
import datetime

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.factory import Factory
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
from kivy.uix.scatter import Scatter




Builder.load_string("""
<MyScatter>:
    id: cool
    #pos: 200, 200
    #size: 300,300
    Image:
        id: img
        source: "cat.png"
        allow_stretch:  True
        size: cool.size
<P>:
    MyScatter:


""")


class MyScatter(Scatter):


    def on_touch_move(self, touch): #magic time!!!!
        res =  super(MyScatter, self).on_touch_move(touch)
        if res: #Yay do something!
            print self.center
        return res
class P(FloatLayout):
    pass


class MyApp(App):


    def build(self):
        return P()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()
