Purpose
Calling Installer.SetupPython from Python.Included makes sure Python is
installed and also adds the install location to the PATH env variable.
The location is added to the PATH even if it was already there, so this
can potentially lead to an env variable overflow with the message
'Environment variable name or value is too long', after which the only
way to get CPython3 back to work would be to restart Dynamo.
The problem is avoided by remembering if Python was setup using a local
field. This should reduce the number of calls to a maximum of 2, which
is not the best (1 would be) but is far from resulting in an overflow.
