You can use Ruurd Reitsma's python - no "proper" python needed for this.
I have put this on the WiKi.

I've followed the guidance above.  The .tex file is converted to .lyx 
OK but the resulting file is not loaded to LyX and I get a message 
"Can't find error conversion script".

The converter for Latex => Lyx is reLyX -f $$i
I am using Windows XP with LyX 1.3.5.
Any suggestions?

Sorry. It worked well for me. I have just converted an entire book from
rtf to tex (via rtf2latex2e.exe) and imported it successfully into Lyx - 
with some
minor drawbacks regarding graphics. I have the same converter
instruction and the same OS and LyX version that you have noted.
To identify the problem, so that the WiKi entry can be corrected:
Could you just create a lyx file with some text in it ("Hallo World")
and export it to LaTeX and then import it to LyX? Could you just tell me
whether this works?

I have a "full" python on my computer and simply tried (by renaming) to
hide it and use Ruurd's python. This worked for me. Maybe we need the
"full" python and delete the python.exe in Ruurd's distribution. This would
be the next step to try.
I think that LaTeX export and import are /absolutely /essential.
Thanks
