While I have no need for its online functionality and the SAAS part of plotly, I really do like plotly python + cufflinks [1]. It lets you make interactive plots in html/js format. Which means you can save the notebook as html, and while people won't be able to rerun the code, they can still zoom in on graphs, hover to see annotations etc, which is a really nice way to share the outcome of your work in a more accessible way.

Cufflinks seems to be stale, maybe it is not needed anymore to bind plotly and pandas? I don't think these options existed in 2021 when cufflinks was last updated:

- Plotly can be used directly as pandas backend: https://plotly.com/python/pandas-backend/

- The plotly.express module makes it easy to create interactive plots in html/js format from pandas dataframes: https://plotly.com/python/plotly-express/#gallery


If you're interested in an easier way to create reports using Python and Plotly/Pandas, you should check out our open-source library, Datapane: https://github.com/datapane/datapane - you can create a standalone, redistributable HTML file in a few lines of Python.
