title: Write TIFF file in python from String
body: <p>I need a way to easily write a compressed TIFF file from a String in python. I already look at the Python Imaging Library <a href="http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/" rel="nofollow">PIL</a> But I need to write a very specific TIFF format and PIL only supports uncompressed at the moment. I need to write a LZW compressed, striped TIFF with just one simple line of text in it. I would rather not have to write something from scratch, but if I do I do.</p>
