    So is it that we cannot write python script for direct query ? Power BI Desktop allows to do it but shows error while executing it.

    So, the idea of direct query is to unnable any kind of transformation in PowerBI? I mean, python doesn't work, power query doesn't work, DAX is extremly restricted. Care to explain?

      No reply because no one knows. DirectQuery is useless in that mentioned cases. 

       

      I believe Direct Query is meant for data that has already been transformed in your data source completely.

        Agreed, came to the same conclusion and went to transform in the source
