Layer on top of Python Imaging Library (PIL) to write text in images easily

# You need PIL <http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/> to run this script
# Download unifont.ttf from <http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html> (or use
# any TTF you have)

#`place` can be 'left' (default), 'right', 'center' or 'justify'
#write_text_box will return (box_width, box_calculed_height) so you can
#know the size of the wrote text

#You don't need to specify text size: can specify max_width or max_height
# and tell write_text to fill the text in this space, so it'll compute font
# size automatically
