Really good stuff and addresses many issues I had, eg documentation and jupyter compatibility. I hope the static image export gets a bit streamlined - being able to quickly & programmatically export graphs to png is really something I did not find easy from python with plotly so far. Yet it is definitely crucial eg to send a high quality image to the boss for a PowerPoint slide or to save 100s of png images for quick visual quality checks.

So I am really looking forward to give the new version a spin!

Rock solid export of high-quality static images is really important to me too. Fortunately the hard part is already done (in orca). Integrating orca into plotly.py is the very next feature I'm going to start working on after I get through SciPy next week, so hopefully it won't be too much longer...

I am really happy to hear that, thanks a lot for your efforts!

I really think having interactive plots for rapid prototyping/outlier inspection/plot design and then being able to use the same code to produce static, publication grade graphs or doing batch processing, will allow for a really efficient workflow!

That's a really hard name to search for! I found it: https://github.com/plotly/orca
