Nice, thanks for working on the Python script. Regarding the PDF/PS
viewers, another possibility would to exploit that LyX knows the
preferred PDF and PS viewers. Either LyX could pass the viewer paths as
arguments to the script or the script could just return the path to the
PDF/PS file and LyX could open it. I have no idea if either of those
would be preferred, but I just mention it.
