How to run Lilypond programatically from Python instead of calling the L

Hello,

The normal way to run Lilypond is to create a text file and then call the lilypond executable to convert it into a PDF.

Is it possible to instead from python programmatically call Lilypond APIs to generate PDFs? I know that I can make a system call to the lilypond executable, but I was hoping to do this via APIs instead.

Sorry if this is already discussed on Lilypond's online documentation- I did not see it.

I've crossposted this to stack overflow here if anyone wants to answer.

Best regards,

Matthew
