For instance, in your text you could have a vvvQUESTIONSvvv and a ^^^QUESTIONS^^^ bookend your questions, and a >>>CORRECT<<< at the beginning of each correct answer. The Python program would remove the tokens after reading them, and put the answer section where it belongs, with the correct answer(s) having a different character style. I did this in the past, and it worked. Obviously an all-LyX solution is better, but one nice thing about LyX is its native format is still reasonably parsable so if nothing else works, writing such a program is always a way to get what you need. Basically, it just adds one more short step to the compile process.

FWIW I use tasks together with xsim (eXercises and Solutions IMproved). This
allows to place together exercises and solutions in LyX and to print the
solution where we want to (e.g. at the end in a special section/chapter).
Attached follows the module file that I use for this. I need to clean it to
add to lyx. :-)
