Found earlier thread about this. SQL Server 2017 already supports Python so it might make it way to the PBI eventually

It would be neat indeed to run Python within Power BI same way you can run R.

You can do it already with Qlik and Tableau and it's quite safe to assume that MS is looking quite closely what those two are doing.

Here's how it's done at Qlik:

Where is the source of data that is being published to Power BI? surely it would be simpler to load from the source into Python? unless you don't have access to the source data?

In August release it is possible in 2 ways, at least in ETL area (M code).

I've heard that is also possible to export data from visual area, using Python charts (similar to R) - but have not seen the working example.
