This is the one we are talking about. I was told that if this is rewritten in python, windows/lyx does not have to install mingw, and thus easier to install. (Although there are still tetex, python, imagemagic left). I have played with the script for half an hour and translated 50-100 lines. This will be a line by line translation since I assume that everything was there for a reason. Please tell me your 'issues' so that I can fix them in the python version. Bo.
