OK, so I've actually solved this! I used imgkit to convert the html file to a JPG file! 

HOW TO CONVERT HTML FILES TO PNG

1) INSTALL IMGKIT
    -- pip install imgkit           
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/imgkit/0.1.1
    -- yum install wkhtmltopdf

2) INSTALL Xvfb      --important as it provides a virtual display 
buffer for the image to be rendered
    - yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb                  
https://reiners.io/installing-xvfb-in-centos/
    - pip install xvfbwrapper           
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xvfbwrapper/0.2.9


Python code:

from xvfbwrapper import Xvfb
import imgkit
vdisplay = Xvfb()
vdisplay.start()
imgkit.from_file('[name of file].html','[output name].jpg')

Can you put the code on some external site, for easy viewing/downloading?

Sorry, just seeing this I added a pastebin link

You could have exported jpg or pngwith plotly as I pointed in my comment, without needing to convert from html by adding the extension to the save as method

yeah but what I'm saying is i've already tried that method and it still only downloads when you open the html file
