It's great that Power BI already has the capability to run R scripts for data transformation. It would be even better if we could run Python script.
Python would play role of backend data acquisition, transformation and Power BI doing some visualization and distribution of results via Power BI Online. Power BI API can be used to move Python data to Power BI Online. I have not yet seen any Power BI API Python examples yet. However Power BI API requires Azure Active Directory oAuth authentication. This could be initiated by the Python code, that would push Python results to Power BI datasource, and Power BI report would refresh off that data.
