    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.

    This is a very good idea that MS should implement.

    It's cool to have Python in Power BI Desktop, but if it doesn't work on Power Bi Service, it's pointless!

    RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

    Seriously!? Why would you even put this in preview and not have the the web/service be able to utilize it? Virtually useless...

    RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

    I just had to rewrite a huge python script in R because I thought that it would be supported instead of only partially supported. Should really let people know that it's not ready in the service.

    RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

    Also the Python visualizations don't work once the web app is published

    RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

    Exactly this. Not having the ability to run Python via the web access is a great hindrance. Please add this capability
