On PowerBi Desktop we can get data using Python Scripts, but after published we can't schedule a refresh data for this connection. The PowerBI returns:
"Query contains unknown funtion name: Python.Execute."
It would be better if all features on desktop would work on web too.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

I agree that this is no complete until it's supported in the enterprise gateway.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

I'm throwing in with the comments below. This is not complete because Python sources are not supported in the enterprise gateway. Supporting this in the personal gateway is somewhat helpful but far from an enterprise solution. Please add support in the enterprise gateway.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

May as well just refresh from Power BI desktop if it has to be installed on a computer where the file sits.....

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

This is not working, schedule refresh is not allowed for Python data sources yet.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

Not solved at all. Don't consider using Python scripts in Power BI as it is now, the number of libraries supported for scheduled refresh gives almost none of the Python features.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

This issue is not solved, please reopen this idea. Please enable schedule refresh with python scripts on On premise gateway.
Having such a nice way to get data without being able to schedule refresh, is almost useless unfortunatly.
