I couldn't just leave it at that so I hacked a bit more.
The result is ability to pass parameters with the python-function so as
to execute something in python (you could do your math calculations
inside lyx this way - "LyX is a wysiwym document processor that can also
serve as a pocket calculator" ;-)
There is an "interface" to actions in LyX from python, that is you can
do: python-function lyx.action("word-forward") and voila the cursor will
move a word forward.
Basically this hits a dead end now. There is now a need to be able to
query lyx, to be able to iterate over the text and other such things.
This now becomes too much work for now.
btw: There is a bug in the minibuffer that prevents it from passing
parameters in that patch I have a hack to fix this. I'll see if I can
come up with something cleaner. It doesn't matter to anything since the
only other command who need arguments in the same way is some help
command. The math stuff is handled differently and accepts parameters
correctly.
