Missing Python?

I was lead to believe that Python integartion should be available in the latest version but I can't find it?

The version is 2.61.5192.601 64-bit (August 2018) but there is no Python script - option in the Get Data - dialog nor can I see any option to create a Python visual on the Report - tab.

It’s a preview feature. Be sure to enable it in the Options settings under the file menu

Make sure you have enabled the “Python Support” feature from the Power BI Desktop. To enable this feature, Go to File menu > Options and Settings > select Options >  Preview Features > select “Python Support” > click OK.

Restart the Power BI App.

Hello,

 

I am using Power BI Desktop Optimized for Report Server. I guess I can not see for this reason, because there is really no any "Preview Features" 😕

Hello,

 

I also installed PBI August 2018 but there is not even "Preview Features", or Python Script.
