Hey,

 

Not yet, unfortunately. I have tried everything I could. Restart computer, Power BI. Reinstall Python, reinstall Power BI.

At least is there any workaround? Like manually change the path in config file or something like this...?

 

I will open a ticket, as you suggested!

    Thank you, Matt. 

     

    Did you add the python path to the OS Environment Variables? Then Power BI can detect it automatically.

     

    Best Regards,

        That's weird. I would suggest you wait for the responses from the ticket.
