Encode png bytes to base64

📊 Plotly Python

Hi @Luidgi

You almost had it with your first bullet. Rather than converting the base64 bytes object to a string using the str constructor, you need to decode it into a string using the .decode() method.

img = py.image.get(fig)
img_uri = "data:image/png;base64," + base64.b64encode(img).decode('utf8')

If you’re in the Jupyter Notebook you can check to make sure it worked by displaying img_uri as follows

from IPython.display import Image
Image(url=img_uri)

Hope that helps!
