I'm afraid this makes it more difficult to build a LyX package for distribution. A package (e.g. .rpm) built this way doesn't work without hacks on a system with a different python major version. But I don't know how important this scenario is these days. If LyX is build and installed as part of a given linux distribution it should fit the bill. Stephan
