Well, that's trivial because the header #LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat 221 is unchanged in UTF-8. We'll just need to read the \lyxformat to ascertain whether the rest of the file is encoded in UTF-8 and, if not, use Python's unicode stuff to perform the transformation from LyX 1.4 format. -- Angus
