Importing Ghostscript to Python on Windows 8
I am trying to import ghostscript in Python to convert PDFs to .tiff format.
I am using Python version 2.7.10 on Windows 8.
I have successfully downloaded and installed ghostscript using pip and it appears in the correct location (... \ Anaconda \ Lib \ sitepackages). I have confirmed that other packages located in this directory can be imported into Python.
I am using the command import ghostscript
When I do this, I get the error:
RuntimeError: Cannot find Ghostscript DLL in registry
Tracking indicates that calling the file "ghoscript_init_.py" successfully imports _gsprint as gs.
However, when the import function tries to access "ghostscript_gsprint.py", it throws a RuntimeError where it cannot find the Ghostscript DLL.
Any advice or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank!

Besides installing ghostscript
python bindings from PyPI using pip install ghostscript
, you also need to install the correct Ghostscript program for your platform, as described in the PyPI page . This page states that version 8.x is required, but I am currently using 9.2 successfully.
