A simpler way is to just use GhostScript (the command line is simpler). Here are the steps: 1. Download and install it from the official web : GhostScript 2. Add the "bin" and the "lib" folder of the installed GhostScript to the "PATH" environmental variable. This makes the cmd able to find the utility we need to use later. If you do not add the paths, you can still call the utility by using the full path. 3. After adding to "PATH" (assuming Windows and enough user right), open a cmd window in your target PS file folder. 4. Use the cmd line: "ps2pdf input.ps output.pdf"
There is quite a good tutorial here : How To Convert PostScript (eps/ps) to PDF with Ghostscript on Windows 10
In Python, you could use something like subprocess.run() to run the cmd, or make a buch of cmd strings, wirte them into a temp CMD/BAT file; then use Python to run that temp file and delete it after finish.
