Trying to use Python scripts in Power BI Service

I'm trying to use a Python script to clean my data in Power BI Service, but scripts are not an option anywhere. How do I enable them?

if you're trying to use Python and R in a Power BI dataflow I do not expect it to be supported.

Power Query steps with R and Python scripts require a Personal Gateway to be executed, even if your sources are all on public network.

Use Python in Power BI Power Query Editor - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Since personal gateway doesn't support dataflows I assume your scenario is not supported.
