If you have the raw Postscript file, you can simply add a line near the
beginning that looks something like this:

    400 400 scale

which will scale the image by 400%. It's been quite a while since I did
Postscript programming so the example might not be 100% correct, but a bit
of research will get you on the right track.

It's not Python, but it'll work.
