Bokeh: save plot (as HTML) but don't show it

Question

I am using Bokeh to produce HTML code including figures with show method This method ends on opening default browser with HTML opened in it.

I want to save the HTML code, without showing it. How can I do that ?

Solution is to replace calls to show by calls to save.

Also if you would like to save custom HTML, or plots embedded in your own templates: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/embed.html – bigreddot Jul 22 '15 at 13:11

Use output_file({file_name}) instead of output_notebook(). You can call either save or show method. Remember each time you call save or show method the file will be rewritten.

bokeh.io documentation

from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, save

p = figure(title="Basic Title", plot_width=300, plot_height=300)
p.circle([1, 2], [3, 4])
output_file("output_file_name.html")
save(p)
