Getting Access is denied error with Python

[Anonymous]

I have installed Python from the Microsoft Store. 

My script runs fine in VSCode

When I run inside PowerBI I get the error "ADO.NET: A problem occurred while processing your Python script.
Here are the technical details: Access is denied"

Looking into the diagnostics I dont get much more info. 

Microsoft.Mashup.Container.NetFX45.exe Warning: 0 : Getting python version failed with exception System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Access is denied
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at Microsoft.PowerBI.Scripting.Python.PythonScriptWrapper.GetPythonVersionAndEmitTrace(String pythonExePath, Int32 scriptHash).
Microsoft.Mashup.Container.NetFX45.exe Information: 0 : 712333289|Imports : pandas

Anyone run into the same problem? Any solutions?

Hi @Anonymous ,

It may be an unsupported Python version of powerbi, please check according to the official documentation:Learn which Python packages are supported - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hope it helps!

uninstall Python and reinstall for all users. Make sure it is in the PATH.
