Import image with Python script

Hi,

 

I am looking for a method to load several image with Python scipt into Power BI desktop to create a dashboard. I don't want to manually select images and import them.  Here is my current code and the power bi failed to recognize the image. I am using Get Data with Python Script. Is there a way to solve this issue? Or is there any alternative detailed methods to import images with script into Power BI?

 

import pandas as pd
import json
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import matplotlib.cbook as cbook


#ax=plt.gca()
with cbook.get_sample_data('D:/carapace/TableauChartDisplayTask/test.png') as image_file:
    image=plt.imread(image_file)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
  
fig.figimage(image)
#fig.figimage(image, 10, 10, zorder = 3, alpha =.5)
  
plt.title('matplotlib.pyplot.imread() function Example', 
                                     fontweight ="bold")
plt.show()

 

 And here is the result

Hi @Eraclea ,

 

You should use the Python visual rather than python script.
