FileMaker in Charge : Setting the right environment for Python

How to create a failsafe environment so your Python scripts always run as expected.
Demo of a small solution where FileMaker sets the right environment, saves the python scripts in the right place and calls them to perform a task.  It also installs the needed libraries if missing.
This is something I created to read serial data from weighing scales used in our lab.
The work was in ensuring the right environment when doing system calls from FileMaker (as it is not the same environment as working in the Terminal)
Created in FileMaker 16 for those who aren't always using the latest.
