Unlikely. Ghostscript isn't designed to work as a library, so there's nothing to write a Python wrapper around. Postscript is a whole programming language -- I find it hard to imagine that someone would be masochistic enough to write anything more than a toy implementation in a slow, memory hungry language like Python. -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
