It would be easier for me to integrate the dot code of pylint/pyreverse from its stdout stream instead of struggling with files to get the dot code...

Hi Florian,


Currently this is not possible, since the behavior is hard coded
to put the output into a file. But if you want this feature,
you can file an issue at https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint,
I admit it might be useful.


Thanks,
