I checked - everything works.

For example, you can input file from Python, apply Power query and then pass it back to Python.

I'm not sure about any usefulness of such workflow, but it works.

 

let
    Source = Python.Execute("import pandas as pd#(lf)df1 = pd.read_parquet(r'C:\Users\MyPC\Dropbox\Documents\DataScience\Pandas\pandas\chicago.parquet')"),
    df2 = Source{[Name="df1"]}[Value],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(df2,{{"Employee Annual Salary", type text}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","$","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Employee Annual Salary"}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Replaced Value", each [Employee Annual Salary] <> null and [Employee Annual Salary] <> ""),
    #"Run Python script" = Python.Execute("# 'dataset' holds the input data for this script#(lf)dataset.to_parquet(r'C:\Users\MyPC\Dropbox\Documents\DataScience\Pandas\pandas\pbd.parquet')#(lf)",[dataset=#"Filtered Rows"])
in
    #"Run Python script"
