I can come with ad hoc list of python implemented features to try: critical: - reconfigure - conversion of old documents and old settings - editing and exporting document with various graphics formats (jpg,png,eps,pdf,svg) less critical: - new export to docbook - math and inset preview - export to LyX archive minor/advanced features: - sweave/tangle/knitr insets - fen/csv - citation viewer (can be run manually via lyxpaperview.py) Another approach could be just collect all import lines from all scripts in lib/scripts and check they are within that minimal p3 install.
