Connect to a XMLA Endpoint with Python
Since the announcement about XMLA endpoints, I've been trying to figure out how to connect to a URL of the form powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/[workspace name] via Python, but I can't find anything that works.
I have a workspace in a premium capacity and I am able to connect to it using DAX Studio as explained here, but I haven't figured out how to do it with Python. I've tried installing olap.xmla, but I get the following error when I try to use the Power BI URL as the location using either the powerbi or https as the prefix.
import olap.xmla.xmla as xmla
p = xmla.XMLAProvider()
c = p.connect(location="powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/[My Workspace]")
[...]
TransportError: Server returned HTTP status 404 (no content available)
I'm sure there are authentication issues involved, but I'm a bit out of my depth here. Does anyone know of any blog posts or other resources that demonstrate how to connect to a Power BI XMLA endpoint specifically using Python? My searching has failed me, but surely I can't be the only one who is trying to do this.

This error should caused by invalid URL or workspace, please refe to power bi rest api for more details.

I'm using exactly the same URL that works with DAX Studio, so that doesn't seem like it would be the problem.
