Please find attached my work so far. If you copy lyx.py into the
"pythonpath", pydoc will give you a nice view of the doc strings and setup
pydoc -p port Start an HTTP server on the given port on the local
machine.
firefox http://localhost:port Python docs, click on lyx module in
whereever you placed it
The examples/ subdir lists some, well, examples of what can be done with the
LyXClient class.
Generally, the lyxserver seems to be an a sad state mainly because noone
seems to use it seriously. (Some of my ideas and complaints are to be found
in examples/lyxtest.py.) If there is interest (and consent that this is the
right place), I'd like to discuss this issue further.
