I want to plot something like a biplot in python Plotly ,but using 3 principal components so as to make a 3d plot. enter image description here How do I go about plotting the direction vectors(the red lines) of principal components in plotly python?

There is exactly the same question , but for R, here. I am not able to translate the code perfectly.

With much help from here

from plotly.offline import plot
import plotly.graph_objs as go
pca = PCA(n_components=3).fit(iris.data)
X_reduced = pca.transform(iris.data)
trace1 = go.Scatter3d(
    x=X_reduced[:,0],
    y = X_reduced[:,1],
    z = X_reduced[:,2],
    mode='markers',
    marker=dict(
        size=12,
        color= target,                
        opacity=1
)

)

dc_1 = go.Scatter3d( x = [0,pca.components_.T[0][0]],
                     y = [0,pca.components_.T[0][1]],
                     z = [0,pca.components_.T[0][2]],
                     marker = dict( size = 1,
                                    color = "rgb(84,48,5)"),
                     line = dict( color = "red",
                                width = 6),
                     name = "Var1"
                     )
dc_2 = go.Scatter3d( x = [0,pca.components_.T[1][0]],
                   y = [0,pca.components_.T[1][1]],
                   z = [0,pca.components_.T[1][2]],
                   marker = dict( size = 1,

                     marker = dict( size = 1,
                                  color = "rgb(84,48,5)"),
                     line = dict( color = "blue",
                                width = 6),
                     name = "Var3"
                 ) 
dc_4 = go.Scatter3d( x = [0,pca.components_.T[3][0]],
                     y = [0,pca.components_.T[3][1]],
                     z = [0,pca.components_.T[3][2]],
                     marker = dict( size = 1,
                                  color = "rgb(84,48,5)"),
                     line = dict( color = "yellow",
                                width = 6),
                     name = "Var4"
                   )


data = [trace1,dc_1,dc_2,dc_3,dc_4]

    xaxis=dict(
        title='PC1',

how do you plot this inline in a jupyter notebook? Really like the visual!
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA and from sklearn.datasets import load_irisare required
Also color= target should be color= iris.target
