I am glad to hear that the python LyX package finds a use (beyond my own). This strengthens my belief that the lyx server has a great potential for user-provided extensions to lyx, if only the interface is easy to handle... Currently I am finishing tests on the next version -- be warned that the package is still in experimental state, so that the API can change. BTW: Currently, there is a potential name clash between the LyX package and LyX.py included by lyx2lyx. Jos�, what do you think about a generic "LyX" python package including ly2lyx (and friends), lyxclient (and friends) and maybe more (e.g. lyxchat)? (This would need some more thoughts about the right place of the files and incorporating with the python path.) Guenter -- G.Milde web.de
