Yep, as I said, in development/tools there is a shell script (lyxeditor) that parses the preferences file and lyxrc.dist for the lyxpipe definition. It works on Linux, MacOS, and Cygwin. It would be easy to extend it to also work on native Windows, but then you would need a Bourne-like shell to execute it. So, it would be better to convert it to Python. This should be a rather simple task. -- Enrico
