The big changes were comited. Now is the right time make a short summary
of what has been done and what remains. Your feedback is welcome. :-)
Changes:
*******
- The code is cleaner.
+ The code for convert and revert is placed together.
+ Follow the same style as the C++ code, use two lines to separate
different functions.
+ Add more comments explaining what is happening.
- All the warnings and errors handling are concentrated inside a single
dependency. We have now several warning levels, this was advertised
previously but not implemented.
- There is the possibility to redirect the error and warnings to a file
that could be read inside lyx, easing thus bug reports from the users.
- No more "from parser_tools import *", explicitly tell which functions
are called. This is good style for writing python code.
- Now all the modules only call:
+ re_ for regular expressions
+ string_ needed to support older python versions
- Separation of roles between lyx2lyx and parser_tools
lyx2lyx - all the aspects related with the program
parser_tools - all the knowleadege of the file format.
To do:
*****
- Add a command line option to specify the target lyx version.
- Internationalization? There is support inside python to use gettext,
and we can fallback to english if that support is not present. (A few
lines of code, if that matters)
- Add support for lyx-0.8 and elder versions. (This is my pet
project ;-)).

LyX and docbook, a perfect match. :-)
