I'm ashamed I wrote this, so I recant publicly.

In fact, the newer lyx2lyx packed with tex2lyx (binary) is incompatible with 
the python version packed by Ruurd: the newest version requires python 2.3 at 
least, and Ruurd packed python 2.2.  So Angus was right: dump the python 
version packed by Ruurd, if you have no use for it...

Having said that, I must add that it is possible to get away without 
installing a full blooded Python distribution: the newest pythons include a 
little program py2exe allowing the compilation of python scripts into windows 
executables.  I just made the experiment and seems to be working.  I thought 
about uploading it to the wikipage, but I have to figure out how to do that 
first.  If somebody volunteers, I can send the exe right away to post it in 
the right place for downloading.  (Please email me to my home address, not to 
the list, for I'm subscribed to the digest and I check it usually only once a 
day...)

Cheers,

Luis.
