Various lyx code has "python" hardcoded. It may be good to take advantage of the PYTHON setting.
Some systems do not have a "python" in the path, but may have python2.4 for example. Here is a list of files below. Some of these python scripts are fine at the top sh-bang #! line, but later inside of same file that may call "python" again. Since the autoconf ./configure knows what PYTHON is and sets it in the Makefiles, it should be honored. config/py-compile (probably OKAY since is in environment and this is not installed) src/buffer.C src/lyxtextclass.C lib/doc/Makefile.am lib/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx lib/scripts/listerrors development/tools/generate_symbols_list.py lib/doc/depend.py lib/configure.py lib/scripts/TeXFiles.py lib/scripts/clean_dvi.py lib/lyx2lyx/profiling.py lib/scripts/fen2ascii.py lib/scripts/layout2layout.py lib/scripts/legacy_lyxpreview2ppm.py lib/scripts/lyxpreview2bitmap.py lib/scripts/lyxpreview_tools.py lib/scripts/tex_copy.py I can provide some patches.
