Chapter 3: Configuring Python with Power BI
Just as in Chapter 2, Configuring R with Power BI, you had to install the R engines in order to interact with Power BI, in the same way you will also have to install the Python engines on your machine. You'll also see how to configure some IDEs so you can develop and test Python code comfortably before using it in Power BI. Therefore, similar to what we have already seen in Chapter 2, Configuring R with Power BI the following topics will be discussed in this chapter:
- The available Python engines
- Which Python engine should I install?
- Installing an IDE for Python development
- Configuring Power BI Desktop to work with Python
- Configuring the Power BI service to work with Python
- Limitations of Python visuals
