Automatic refresh using a Python script that contains environment variables

I am getting an error when trying automatically refresh my report that is using a Python script that contains os environment variables. No issue when running the refresh within the report. I can't provide the error message at this time as it looks like Power BI is having an issue refreshing all Python scripts. I have tried this script on seperate servers. One server it couldn't read any of the os environment variables while the other server it was able read all but one os environment variable.

needs more details. Is the personal gateway installed and running?  What's the rationale behind needing to retrieve OS env variables? Which machine do you expect these values to come from?
