Working with Python Classes in Power BI

Hi,

I have a class which I've written it for time series forecasting in python. 

But I think I cannot use it in Power BI like in Python? I just want to confirm is this right or not? If it's not right, how can I handle this in power bi?Because I couldn't find any way.

Thanks.

In Power BI Desktop, select File > Options and settings > Options > Python scripting. The Python script options page appears. If necessary, specify your local Python installation path in Detected Python home directories. Select OK.

Thank you @amitchandak  but I have already implemented my python code like in the article you've referred. 

I want to use more complex code structure.

Yes @Greg_Deckler  it's a module.

OK, you should be able to use it in Desktop if you install the module in the right place. However, you will not be about to use the Service's cloud gateway for automatic refresh because it will not have the module. But, you should in theory be able to use a data gateway with Python and the module installed properly.
