Hi @weijunawj ,

I believe that there is no support yet for Python to be able to communicate directly with the PowerBI context. As per this link, python and other visuals can only interact with the outer DOM for processing.

I have found a submitted idea about this thought ——Button - New Action Type - Python/R Script , please vote it up and hope Power Bi will implement this in nearby future.

Refer to:

Appreciate your Kudos.

@weijunawj  Only one availbale way is use 

raise Exception("Hello World")

but this will stop script execution
