Python script refresh issue in service

I’ve built a Power BI report that uses a  Python script as the data source. It works fine in Power BI Desktop—I can refresh the data without any issues.

 

However, after publishing the report to the Power BI Service, I receive an error when trying to refresh:

 

"Unable to refresh the model because it references an unsupported data source."

 

Can anyone confirm:

 

Is it possible to refresh a dataset that uses a Python script in the Power BI Service (either manually or scheduled)?

You can buy only if you refresh using a personal gateway. The personal gateway will be on your machine, and that will be running the python.
