[magick-users] pdf to png in python

[Carl Karsten]

I am using python's reportlab to create a pdf (of a conference name tag) and I 
want to be able to have an image preview on the registration form web page.

convert foo.pdf foo.png does what I need.  What I am looking for is a good API 
to that, or anything similar.

Ideally, it won't require a file system file (easier on the web server.)

Here is what the code looks like that generates the pdf:

     buffer = StringIO()
     rw = dReportWriter(OutputFile=buffer, ReportFormFile=xmlfile, Cursor=ds)
     rw.write()
     pdf = buffer.getvalue()
     return pdf

all suggestions welcome.
