      Hi,

       

      I am trying to connect to localhost as described in Leverage the power of Python in Tableau with TabPy | Tableau Software link.

      The link is very helpful but after following all the steps in it I am still not able to connect to the localhost from the Tableau.

       

      Screenshots for your reference:

      1. Localhost created and same trying to connect from Tableau

       

      2. Connection throws an error as below:

      3. Same works fine on my browser:

       

       

      Please Note:

      1.     I tried bot 127.0.0.1 and localhost on while connecting.

      2.     I am trying it at my work behind a proxy enabled network. I think tableau software is not able to connect to localhost but I don't know how to configure Tableau Desktop to comply with my proxy authentication. I tried maintaining HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY as system variables but that didn't work.

       

      Please help.

       

      Thanks in advance.
