I have been thinking about ly -> MusicXML conversion, too. I don't think using an external python application is really possible, because LilyPond allows for so many different input variations. You'd basically have to diplicate most/all of the iterator and engraver logic in scheme.... I have rather been thinking about adding MusicXML export like the MIDI export: Create some translator (e.g. a base class Exporter or Xporter to indicate XML, like Performer or Engraver) and subclasses to listen to all the different music events/grobs. That would probably be the most native and probably also easiest implementation of MusicXML export. For example, MIDI creation is relatively simple code-wise (just look at the *performer.cc and the audio*.cc and midi*.cc files).
