This package is currently tested only under GNU/Linux. Please report
whether it works in your environment, too. Thanks.
Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is an example for how to use the high-level interface of
`python-ghostscript`. This implements a very basic ps2pdf-tool::
import sys
import ghostscript
args = [
"ps2pdf", # actual value doesn't matter
"-dNOPAUSE", "-dBATCH", "-dSAFER",
"-sDEVICE=pdfwrite",
"-sOutputFile=" + sys.argv[1],
"-c", ".setpdfwrite",
"-f", sys.argv[2]
]
ghostscript.Ghostscript(*args)
