Well, someone (I forgot his name) offered to work on updating python
to the latest 2.7.x version, which should make it easier to eventually
migrate to python 3.x...

Given that nobody is really working on musicxml2ly, I strongly suggest
that people start testing and using Jacques Menu's `xml2ly' program
instead:

  https://github.com/grame-cncm/libmusicxml/tree/lilypond

(i.e., the `lilypond' branch of the `libmusicxml' git repository).

AFAIK, the results are far superior to the `musicxml2ly' script.
