This works for me with python 3.4.2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from io import BytesIO
import base64
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,2,3])
sio = BytesIO()
fig.savefig(sio, format="png")
html = """<html><body>
<img src="data:image/png;base64,{}"/>
</body></html>""".format(base64.encodebytes(sio.getvalue()).decode())
For python 2.7.8 change html =""" to
html = """<html><body>
<img src="data:image/png;base64,%s"/>
</body></html>""" % base64.encodestring(sio.getvalue())
Best regards,
Scott
