Can't draw Python visual using Basemap shadedrelief

Hi,

I am having some trouble drawing a simple map in Power BI using Python, now the map works fine outside of Power BI, however it throws an error saying it 'can't display the visual', and the error appears to be caused by some issue drawing a shadedrelief map.

This map is the type I have found to be the most visually appealing so I am not very keen on having to change.

 

Here is a short example displaying the problem:

 

 

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap

m = Basemap(resolution='c',
            projection='cyl',
            lat_0=0,
            lon_0=0)
m.shadedrelief(scale=0.2)
plt.show()

 

 

Any ideas why this is seemingly unsupported?

 

EDIT:

Apparently doing this on a Friday afternoon is not the best time, I took one last look at the stack trace and issue was quite clear.

  File "PythonScriptWrapper.PY", line 18, in <module>
    from PIL import Image
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'

I simply installed the dependency it was missing. I have had some problem with using anaconda, so makes sense that there would be more errors related ones!

As mentioned in my post edit, I had the following in my stacktrace (that I didn't check properly):

  File "PythonScriptWrapper.PY", line 18, in <module>
    from PIL import Image
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'

 Since it worked outside of PowerBI I suspect the issue was related to me using Anaconda, as previously I had to re-install all other dependencies with pip for them to be recognized, seems I simply missed one!
