Ghostscript interface

[defcon8]

Does a ghostscript interface for python exist? I have searched google
quite a bit and all I have been able to find are command line hacks
from within python. Thanks in advance for any useful help.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "Ghostscript interface". Ghostscript is
a program. Yes, you can run it from Python using the same methods you
run any other program from Python but I'd hardly call that an
"interface".

If you're looking for a python postscript generator I believe a google
search will turn up a number of products.

I'm not aware of a specific interface to the Ghostscript API, but it is
trivial to implement one with ctypes (included with 2.5).
