How to embed Bokeh server in Django application

Question

From what I read the dynamic and big data rendering capabilities of Bokeh are accessible by use of the bokeh-server.

In Bokeh documentation there is a brief mention of embedding the bokeh-server in a Flask application using the blueprint api. This option retains all of the Bokeh's dynamic and big data rendering capabilities.

I would like to do the same for a django1.7 application.

Has this been done?

If so are there any examples?

No need to reinvent.

• bokeh-server is a webserver and can listen on arbitrary port.
• you can have your django webserver listen on some other arbitrary port.
• ... and integrate the two:
  • have redirects from django to bokeh-server, or
  • webserver in front, e.g. nginx which does reverse-proxy.
