Hi mukundkalani21 ,

 

Please make sure that python installation selected in options page is what you expect.

In Power BI Desktop, select File > Options and settings > Options > Python scripting. The Python script options page appears.

 

 

Maybe this document Run Python scripts in Power BI Desktop can help you.

Or you can uninstall and re-install the python and try again. https://www.python.org/downloads/

 

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, we suggest you to open a ticket here for help: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/

 

 

Best regards,

Hi, thank you for your reply. I have tried the methods you suggested but it still doesn't work. Do you think it could be a PBI issue/maybe a python package issue that doesn't run on PBI?

Python works if I don't use anaconda and just use the Python Shell itself. However I run into problems with running the specific python package.
