a sketch of a simple map in jupyter https://app.dominodatalab.com/r00sj3/jupyter/view/batchdemo.ipynb

folium_jupyter_example.py

import pandas as pd
import folium
from matplotlib.colors import Normalize, rgb2hex
import matplotlib.cm as cm

data = pd.read_csv('http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/all_day.csv')
norm = Normalize(data['mag'].min(), data['mag'].max())

map = folium.Map(location=[48, -102], zoom_start=3)
for eq in data.iterrows():
    color = rgb2hex(cm.OrRd(norm(float(eq[1]['mag']))))
    marker = folium.CircleMarker([eq[1]['latitude'], eq[1]['longitude']],
                      popup=eq[1]['place'],
                      radius=20000*float(eq[1]['mag']),
                      color=color,
                      fill_color=color)
    map.add_children(marker)

map

This will work and produce an inline map in jupyter notebook
