Also have you looked at http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LyX/Windows/lyx2lyx-1.4.0cvs-win32-bin.zip this link. This conversion using my approach. Placing the necessary thins into an arcive file, thus making the .exe file small enough to load the rest. It contains similar things. I could build small executables with python libraries in an archive file. I don't know anything about python. I could read documentation, I could try to understand how python could work, but currently that's all. >> A few converted scritps look like this: >> PYTHON23 DLL 979 005 05.02.08 16.23 python23.dll >> W9XPOPEN EXE 16 384 05.02.08 16.24 w9xpopen.exe >> LIBRARY ZIP 311 060 05.10.12 19.30 library.zip >> LYX2LYX EXE 40 960 05.10.12 19.30 lyx2lyx.exe >> GENERA~1 EXE 28 672 05.10.12 19.30 general_command_wrapper.exe >> PIC2AS~1 EXE 28 672 05.10.12 19.30 pic2ascii.exe >> >> So, they can use the same interpreter. > This amounts to simply bundling the Python interpreter with LyX.

For early lyxes this was the case. Ruurd Reitsma made the same, he was packaged python into the windows installer (so made me troubles after installing another one) :). Therfore, I prefer this .exe variant. I have played a lot with this conversion tool. You can customise it to fit your needs. It is very flexibile.
