Cannot extract URL of plotly charts (to be embedded into html reports)

I am trying to print the URL for a plotly chart.

The command:

plot_url = py.iplot(fig, filename= 'chart name',auto_open=False)
print plot_url

returns:

plotly.tools.PlotlyDisplay object>

rather than:

https://plot.ly/23/~andrea.botti/

Any idea why that happens? This is preventing me from embedding the chart into a script that automatically generates a html report when a chart is made.

I think I've found the answer. The issue was that I was using py.iplot instead of py.plot.

Changing the code to:

plot_url = py.plot(fig, filename= 'chart name',auto_open=False)
print plot_url

outputs the correct url.
