Nice, thanks for working on the Python script. Regarding the PDF/PS viewers, another possibility would to exploit that LyX knows the preferred PDF and PS viewers. Either LyX could pass the viewer paths as arguments to the script or the script could just return the path to the PDF/PS file and LyX could open it. I have no idea if either of those would be preferred, but I just mention it. Scott
