For those of you that have been wanting an extension in Python that binds directly to Ghostscript, look no further. A new page is available now for PyGhostscript right here.

From the page:

PyGhostscript is an extension for Python that natively binds (through ctypes) to the Ghostscript interpreter library, so if you don’t want to run Ghostscript through os.system calls to the interpreter, you can just call it up here using the handy GhostScript class inside the module to perform some of the more common actions in a clean manner.

Documentation is included. All code is released under the GPL V2 license.  Enjoy!
