Research direction

Start by locating Boost.Python's existing string-based and file-based evaluation methods, then trace their wrapper entry points. Compare the available Python C API functions PyEval_EvalCode*, Py_CompileString*, and the requested compile-and-evaluate workflow; done means the corresponding wrappers are exposed with coverage for their intended use.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice to have API to follow "compile and eval" way. Currently Boost.Python provides only string-based or file-based evaluation methods.
