static image support for other formats

[chriddyp]

• update response object handling within the static image interface
• exposed support for svg, pdf, and jpeg

[theengineear]

should we be more specific than 'json'? 'application/json'?

Looks good from the Python API side of things!

Hmm.

Off the better_svg_support branch, I'm getting:

      6 figure = py.get_figure('al_indigo', '38')
----> 7 py.image.save_as(figure, 'test.png')

/home/etienne/plotly/python-api/plotly/plotly/plotly.pyc in save_as(cls, figure_or_data, filename, format, width, height)
    620 
    621         f = open(filename, 'w')
--> 622         f.write(img)
    623         f.close()
    624 

TypeError: expected a character buffer object

And similarly for

 py.image.save_as(figure, 'test.svg')

with

print img    # --> None

between line 621 and 622

Ah yeah, at this point it only works with a development version of plot.ly.
So once the dev branch gets deployed, this will work.
