Add the ability to write to a file-object #64

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice to have the ability to send in a file-object, instead of a 
path-name, to pydot.Dot.write.

Use-case:

import tempfile
import pydot

g = pydot.Dot([...])
[...]

temp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
g.write_png(temp)

[... Use temp as input for further processing]

Instead of write() or write_*() you can use create() and create_*() with the 
same output formats and the call will return a string with the produced 
content. It might make the further processing easier.
