[reportlab-users] Return a file object rather than save afile...

[Carl Karsten]

The important bits:

    # buffer to create pdf in
    buffer = StringIO()

    # generate the pdf in the buffer, using the layout and data
        rw = dReportWriter(OutputFile=buffer, ReportFormFile=xmlfile, Cursor=ds)
        rw.write()

    # get the pdf out of the buffer
    pdf = buffer.getvalue()
    buffer.close()

    return pdf
