Python Integration Error
I too am encountering this error.
I chose to intall Anaconda and this resulted in Python version 3.7.3 being installed. I have verified using the command line and Jupyter notebooks that python, numpy, pandas, matplotlib and even seaborn work. I tried upgrading python using conda. I also tried creating a new enviroment version 3.7.1 which is supposedly the supported Python version. That too did not work, I could not navigate to the environment veriable from inside Power BI but I could change to that environment using the command line.
I tried replying earlier but now that I have created an account I can post a screen shot showing my inability to navigate to the Anaconda environment.
I may need to get someone with administrator privlidges or completly blow away Anaconda but I was able to install Anaconda without administrator privlidges.
I ran into the same but manged to find a solution:
1. In your Windows Explorer search for afolder named Continuum. Within this folder you will find /anaconda3/envs. If that doesn't work try:
a. Copy the current path of Pyrthon Home Directory and paste in your Windows Explorer
b. Browse up to the anaconda3 folder
c. Browse down to /envs folder
2. Copy the py35 folder (subfolder in /Continuum/anaconda3/envs) to a location that you can browse to from Power BI Desktop
