On: Bokeh – a Python interactive visualization library

[asafira]

Are the visualizations downloaded at page load only, or can they be readily fashioned with websockets, etc to turn them into an interactive dashboard?

I've been considering running out lab experiments off of a webapp, but haven't found an easy enough solution.

Apart from rendering static html plots or plots with client-side JS callbacks, you could look into using the new bokeh server: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/server.htm...

It allows for building streaming visualizations or plots with using websockets (implemented using tornado).

you might be interested in http://demo.bokehplots.com/ which are all examples of bokeh apps that use websockets to allow you to run python functions based on user interactions with plots. the code for all the examples is linked from that page also.
