Pyreverse output directory

[t4n1o]

Could pyreverse (included with pylint) please have an option to choose an output directory?

I wrote a script that auto-generates UML diagrams for each .py file in my package, but then I have to copy them one by one with shutil.move(), because you don't have an option to specify the output path in pyreverse. (Only the output format).

Also I'm not the only one who needs this feature:

Example use case:

It would be easier if we could specify the output path and didn't have to copy every single file into the documentation folder.

Make sense, thank for opening the issue.

@Pierre-Sassoulas shouldn't be closed this MR?

Good catch, I thought it was done automatically during merge.
