Start looking at the error:

It's rather understandable - you have a float object where Python is  
expecting an integer.
Where? The traceback says it all:

Ok, so repetitions should be an integer, but it isn't. Where does it come  
from? It's an argument to moveAllOnLine, and was called from main (see the  
line above that in the traceback). Now we look near that line:

>     for i in range(2):
>         moveAllOnLine(faceList, dx, 0, stepsAcross, wait)
>         moveAllOnLine(faceList, -dx, dy, stepsAcross/2, wait)
>         moveAllOnLine(faceList, -dx, -dy, stepsAcross//2, wait)

Don't you see something suspicious...?
