title: Python Matplotlib to smtplib
body: <p>I'm wondering if I can send out a matplotlib pyplot through smtplib.  What I mean is, after I plot this dataframe:</p>
  
  <pre><code>In [3]: dfa
  Out[3]:
             day      imps  clicks
  70  2013-09-09  90739468   74609
  69  2013-09-08  90945581   72529
  68  2013-09-07  91861855   70869
  
  In [6]: dfa.plot()
  Out[6]: &lt;matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot at 0x3f24da0&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I can see the plot using </p>
  
  <pre><code>plt.show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but where is the object itself stored?  Or am I misunderstanding something about matplotlib?  Is there a way to convert it to a picture or html within python so I can send it through smtplib?  Thanks!</p>
