Initializes the Python environment and compiles the script into byte code.

Once compiled, execute the script using one or more calls to bBox_PythonExecute.

When no longer needed, purge environment by calling bBox_PythonFinalize.

If the mode 8 flag is not set, and if there is a previously created Python environment that has not been Finalized, it will still be released, but an error may be set.

If running PSOS or as a script schedule, always check if another PSOS session is still running.
