After spending a lot of time following leads, and often thinking that I
was very close, I gave up. I thought that cairo could do what I wanted,
but I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that PSSurface can write the
contents of a cairo context which is displayed on a gtk.DrawingArea to a
PS file (or a PDF through PDFSurface), but that it cannot be used to
actually display PS files onto a gtk.DrawingArea. Chris, please keep me
updated if you find a solution and I'll do the same (as the method to
display PS files and PDF files is probably similar).

I hear that Cairo (pyCairo) can do stuff with postscript as well as
pdf. You should def. play around with it.
You're right cairo does do some stuff with postscript and pdf but I'm
running into the same problem. After a little searching I know you can
something like:
>>> import cairo
>>> surface = cairo.PDFSurface('foo.pdf', 300, 600)
>>> context = cairo.Context(surface)
>>>
but I'm not really sure how to display a cairo context or surface inside
gtk. I'm guessing you have to use a gtk.DrawingArea or something like
that but I haven't been able to figure it out...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
