The old text was incorrect and came from the 2.0 release. LyX works fine if
the default python interpreter is python 3, as long as python 2 is available
as well.
Building LyX does also work with python 3, but since I did not check all
special build steps with both cmake and autotools, I kept a note about
possible problems.
The aim of the tutorial is to explain how to use LyX and not special LaTeX issues with \frontmatter, non-TeX fonts etc. Therefore the preamble should kept clean.
We ensure that configure.py is called by python2, regardless whether 'python'
is python 2 or 3. Therefore we can simply call TeXFiles.py with the currently
running interpreter. This fixes configuration on systems where 'python' is
python 3.
The difference has been validated with diffpdf.
The following could not be tested and were left unchanged:
docbook_article.lyx
lilypond.lyx
linguistics.lyx
springer/sv*.lyx
de/linguistics.lyx
es/linguistics.lyx
ja/FeynmanDiagrams.lyx
ja/lilypond.lyx
ja/beamer.lyx
ja/xypic.lyx
The following is the script that I used (in lib/examples):
LYX=../../build/src/lyx
$LYX -E pdf2 $1.old.pdf $1
sed -i "s/^\\\\begin_inset Separator parbreak$/\\\\begin_inset Separator plain/" $1
sed -i "/^\\\\begin_inset Separator latexpar$/ { N; d; }" $1
$LYX -e lyx $1
$LYX -E pdf2 $1.pdf $1
diffpdf $1.old.pdf $1.pdf

We do not currently handle UTF-8 characters in our layout strings.
Replace dashes with simple ASCII dashes to avoid the following
