Embed folium map in an iframe for jupyter nb

folium_iframe_embed.py

from IPython.display import HTML

def _repr_html_(self, figsize=(17,10), **kwargs):
    """Displays in the notebook a folium.folium.Map object.
    """
    self._build_map(**kwargs)

    width, height = figsize

    iframe = '<iframe src="data:text/html;base64,{html}" width="{width}" height="{height}"></iframe>'\
        .format(html = self.HTML.encode('base64'),
                width = int(60.*width),
                height= int(60.*height),
               )
    return HTML(iframe)

Can you explain a little bit how to use the code? What should be the self? And what should be **kwarges? I am having the issue of folium map doesn't get displayed on github and maps disappear on consecutive reconnections to the same notebook. Thank you!

I assume that self refers to the folium map. So i did _repr_html(my_folium_map) but it shows that 'Map' object has no attribute '_build_map'
