Jinja rendering matplotlib plots?

Question

I am looking at combining matplotlib and jinja2 to produce html pages.

What I do now is just including an image previously produced by matplotlib as a reference in my html page. The result is really static.

I've seen related questions like here or here, but none related to matplotlib/jinja integration (ultimately I'd like interactivity but It does not seem to be simple enough for me).

Is there any alternative to what I do ?

Ipython notebook from v1.x uses jinja2.

You can create inline images in the notebook and then convert it to a static html with nbconvert. You can provide custom css and you can customise the output html to hide code cells, cell numbers, ...
