Using custom package in PowerBI Python visual

Question

Hi, I would like to use a custom Python package to do some calculations and finally display a Python visual in PowerBI.

Everything works well on PowerBI Desktop (by first installing my package in the Python environment that's referenced by PBI Desktop).

If I publish my report on a Premium workspace, the PowerBI visual does not work, because it cannot find my custom Python package anywhere.

Is there any way to install my package so that it is visible from my Premium PBI workspace?

Thanks in advance.
