ghostscript-bin
Ghostscript (gs) binary distribution for Python. Install via pip, get a working gs command.
pip install ghostscript-bin
Usage
Command line
gs --version
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o output.pdf input.ps
Python API
import ghostscript_bin
# Path to the bundled gs binary
ghostscript_bin.gs_path()
# Version string
ghostscript_bin.version()
# Run gs with arguments (wraps subprocess.run)
ghostscript_bin.run(["-sDEVICE=pdfwrite", "-o", "output.pdf", "input.ps"])
Included devices
pdfwrite, ps2write, eps2write, bbox, txtwrite, inkcov, png (all variants), jpeg, tiff (all variants), pbm/pgm/pnm/ppm (all variants), and nullpage.
How it works
The package builds Ghostscript from source using scikit-build-core and CMake's ExternalProject. The binary is compiled with COMPILE_INITS=1 (the default), which embeds all Resource, Init, Font, CMap, and ICC files directly into the binary. This means the installed package is a single self-contained gs executable with no external dependencies beyond system libc.
Platforms
Pre-built wheels are available for:
- Linux x86_64 (manylinux)
- Linux aarch64 (manylinux)
- macOS arm64
License
AGPL-3.0-or-later (same as Ghostscript itself). See LICENSE.
