tostring copies the pixels in the image to a Python string buffer (the
opposite of fromstring).

if you want to save an image to stdout, just save it to stdout:

    im.save(sys.stdout)

if you want to save an image to a string, use the StringIO module:

    import StringIO
    ...
    out = StringIO.StringIO()
    im.save(out)
    data = out.getvalue()
