OSError: when calling maps.map()

[dfloer]

I'm getting OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: when calling maps.map() to get a map image.
This is being run inside a container with a read-only filesystem.

It seems like there should at least be an exception raised from the GbifMap class. I don't know if this is intended to be a pure API library, but I don't expect an HTTP API wrapper to be saving files to my filesystem without me telling it to.

Versions:
Python: 3.8.12
pygbif: 0.6.0

As a workaround I monkey patched out the call to self.__write_file() in:

pygbif/pygbif/maps/map.py

Lines 187 to 195 in 1508ca9

	def __init__(self, x):
	super(GbifMap, self).__init__()
	self.response = x
	self.path = self.__make_path()
	self.__write_file()
	if has(self.response.headers["Content-Type"], "png"):
	self.img = self.__prep_plot()
	else:
	self.img = None

like so (I also removed the plotting related calls as they're extraneous for an API, and caused other issues detailed in #89):

import pygbif as _pygbif

def new_init(self, x):
    super(_pygbif.maps.GbifMap, self).__init__()
    self.response = x
_pygbif.maps.GbifMap.__init__ = new_init
