Pygal render SVG in Jupyter Notebooks

Im currently using Jupyter Notebooks and I would like to render SVG's via HTML without saving them as a local SVG and display them afterwards.

Im using this code:

%matplotlib inline
from IPython.display import SVG, HTML
html_pygal = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://kozea.github.com/pygal.js/javascripts/svg.jquery.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://kozea.github.com/pygal.js/javascripts/pygal-tooltips.js"></script>
    <!-- ... -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <figure>
      {pygal_render}
    </figure>
  </body>
</html>
"""

import pygal
line_chart = pygal.Line()
line_chart.title = 'Browser usage evolution (in %)'
line_chart.x_labels = map(str, range(2002, 2013))
line_chart.add('Firefox', [None, None,    0, 16.6,   25,   31, 36.4, 45.5, 46.3, 42.8, 37.1])
line_chart.add('Chrome',  [None, None, None, None, None, None,    0,  3.9, 10.8, 23.8, 35.3])
line_chart.add('IE',      [85.8, 84.6, 84.7, 74.5,   66, 58.6, 54.7, 44.8, 36.2, 26.6, 20.1])
line_chart.add('Others',  [14.2, 15.4, 15.3,  8.9,    9, 10.4,  8.9,  5.8,  6.7,  6.8,  7.5])
HTML(html_pygal.format(pygal_render=line_chart.render()))

Here is the problem: While Jupyter manages to render the SVG file it also displays a Javascript error which looks like follows:

b'\n

*SVG picture comes here

' Javascript error adding output! SyntaxError: illegal character See your browser Javascript console for more details.

When checking the browser console this is the error message:

My Python Version: 3.6.0 OS: Windows 7 64 Bit Pygal Version: 2.3.1

Note: my current workaround which works but is not the solution which I'm looking for is to create a local SVG and then display it with the library import: from IPython.display import display

My solution:

import pygal
from IPython.display import SVG, display

bar_chart = pygal.Bar()
bar_chart.add('Fibonacci', [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55])
display(SVG(bar_chart.render(disable_xml_declaration=True)))

Even better:

bar_chart = pygal.Bar()
bar_chart.add('Fibonacci', [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55])
display({'image/svg+xml': bar_chart.render()}, raw=True)
