I do not understand it either, other than the fact that José wants to
rewrite everything in python.
My purpose with lyx2lyx was always to write a library (in python) capable of
reading and writing lyx files.
It is a lot easier to treat text with python instead of c++, that was why
python was my choice.
Converting between two different versions of the lyx file format and from
every format to lyx are just two of its uses.
Cleaning a lyx file, converting from latex/docbook (fwiw) inside ert to
native lyx is another use.
That was always my plan, that I have stated before, so it is not a secret
either. :-)
Here is my view of the subject FWIW: The problem is that you are
discouraging Georg and probably other to further update tex2lyx. I can
personally can see the advantages of a python implementation (easier
maintenance, easier upgrades, etc) but, right now, this is just vaporware.
Now, if your plan is really to do that RSN and you reckon you can
achieve the same level of completeness as tex2lyx then I trust your
judgement and I agree with Georg that he should not waste his time with
that.
You should clarify your plan IMHO.
