`get.exception`	logical value indicating whether to check or not for exceptions in Python
`instance.name`	if specified, use the Python instance with this name

This function runs Python code contained in a file. Typically, this file would contain functions to be called via pithon.call or other functions in this package.

The get.exception option allows the user to disregard Python exceptions in cases where safe calls to avoid the overhead of checking for them.

None. If the code produces some output, it is up to the caller to go and fetch if from Python using function pithon.get.

if (pithon.available())
{
	a <- 1:4
	b <- 5:8

	# this file contains the definition of function concat
	pithon.load( system.file( "concat.py", package = "rPython" ) )
	pithon.call( "concat", a, b)

	print("Unable to execute python")
