Summary	0000572: add a method to Part module to read BRep data from string
Description	Werner or Jürgen (or anyone else with skills), would it be possible to add a python method to the Part module to create a shape from Brep data as a string? (Same as read() but it would take the contents of the file instead of the filename). This is so other OCC-based software (such as IfcOpenShell) can pass us brep data directly via a python string. It looks like the BrepTools read function can do that (link below), Sorry for asking something I could do myself, I tried to do it but got totally lost with strings/char*/Standard_Istream conversions... Thanks Yorik

Example: # a file object f=open("box.brep") s=Part.Shape() s.importBrep(f) Part.show(s) # a string object import StringIO f=open("box.brep").read() s=Part.Shape() s.importBrep(StringIO.StringIO(f)) Part.show(s) Done in rev 5410
