This is the main reason at the beginning. There are conversion scripts but they can be easily translated to python. The biggest problems is that there are some on-the-fly scripts that still need a shell. The main advantage of configure.py is that it is much easier to maintain. It allows us to add features like 'configure-on-the-fly' by which I mean dynamic add/remove of layout/class without reloading lyx. I planned to have a look at this area but it seems that I will never have the time. :-( Cheers, Bo
