    Hi , lionx 

    Are you trying to use an enterprise gateway? That won't work.  Python and R scripts require a personal gateway. That personal gateway will automatically share the libraries that you have installed on that PC.

     

    For more information, you can refer to :

    Power BI Gateway | Microsoft Power BI

    Use personal gateways in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

     

    Best Regards,

    Aniya Zhang

Hi lionx ,
I am also facing the same issue
I am running a Python script for some transformations in power query, it's refreshing on the desktop, but showing the same issue as you got on service.

Can you please help me?
