And how does this module communicate with the lyx process?
(Agree on how you would use the lyx module in python scripts, but that
is only a small part of the solution.)
(My pow is that this is best done through a mechanism similar to the
lyxserver. Then we have no script/language specific mechanism inside
lyx itself.)
