Get selected values in powerBI listbox from Python visual script

I'm creating a Python visual inside a PowerBI Desktop dashboard, and I need to filter out a dataset I read from a local folder based on selected values of slicers. So far, I can get all values from every slicer, but what I really need is to get only the selected ones. Does someone know how can I get a list of those selected values inside using Python code or send me the link of a post with the same situation if it applies?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, community! Thanks anyway for your reviews!

Finally, after several trial-error codes, I found one solution that works the way I wanted.

Here goes the one-line code in Python if someone needs it in the future.

 

My data field is named steel_fam_desc, so you just need to change your current field name in your code. 

steel_fam_desc = list(set(dataset.steel_fam_desc))
 
Cheers up community!
