LyX is sadly not ready for Python 3 yet. It will be soon, but there are still
tickets open to support it: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9006

Furthermore, I've tested LyX with Python 3 and it breaks.

Any hints on how to wrap the LyX package output so that it binds to the
Python input, instead of looking for it at runtime, like the Nix package

does?
