Executes the currently cached (compiled) Python bytecode and returns the result of its output. A future version of this function will require the session reference ID returned by bBox_PythonCompile.
This routine executes the Python bytecode compiled by the last call to bBox_PythonCompile., which must of been called at least once before this function is used. Your script can either send its output to stdout (e.g., a print statement), or you can retrieve needed values with bBox_PythonGetVar.
When done with the Python environment, call bBox_PythonFinalize.
If there are uncaught Python exceptions during the execution, a "?" is returned and the bBox_LastError function will return the exception text.
Output is capped at 120 MB.
