The method which requires the least amount of code on your part is to
first install 'ghostview' on your machine, then use
    os.system( "ghostview '%s'" % full_path_to_ps_file )
in your program.

The alternative is to rewrite ghostview (and likewise, ghostscript) in
python.  That is not trivial, to say the least :-).

(The only other alternative is to find someone else who has already
done enough of the recoding that you can use it)
