Using the Embedding Bokeh Plots documentation example as suggested by Fabio Pliger, one can do this in Django:

in the views.py file, we put:

from django.shortcuts import render
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.resources import CDN
from bokeh.embed import components

def simple_chart(request):
    plot = figure()
    plot.circle([1,2], [3,4])

    script, div = components(plot, CDN)

    return render(request, "simple_chart.html", {"the_script": script, "the_div": div})

in the urls.py file we can put :

from myapp.views import simple_chart 
...
...
...
url(r'^simple_chart/$', simple_chart, name="simple_chart"),
...
...

in the template file simple_chart.html we'll have :

    
    
    
    



    {{ the_div|safe }}

    {{ the_script|safe }}

 

And it works.
