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.
