OK I tried this. I defined a new Python file format with extension .py in Lyx,
and then created a Python -> PDF (pdflatex) converter that runs the command:
python $$i $$o
But when I try exporting the document to PDF I get the following error:
"No information for converting python format files to png. Define a converter
in the preferences."
Why is it trying to convert to PNG?
