How to stop output_server() + show() from popping up a browser?

Community Support

I’m wondering about this issue since I’m developing on a remote machine and it pops up a terminal browser which is rather annoying to quit out of every time. Messing with the ‘browser’ keyword arg for show() doesn’t really do much, except it screams when I give it something that isn’t an actual browser.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Had

Use push instead of show

Push send s data. Show calls push and then opens a browser

This didn’t work for me. Here’s the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “line_animate.py”, line 67, in

push(p)

File “/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bokeh/io.py”, line 375, in push

return session.store_document(document)

AttributeError: ‘VBox’ object has no attribute ‘store_document’

In the documentation, the args for push() are:

push(session=None, document=None, state=None)

And for show() they are:

show(obj)

So it doesn’t really seem to match up here.
