/// Executes the provided closure with an embedded Python interpreter.
///
/// This function initializes the Python interpreter, executes the provided closure, and then
/// finalizes the Python interpreter.
///
/// After execution all Python resources are cleaned up, and no further Python APIs can be called.
/// Because many Python modules implemented in C do not support multiple Python interpreters in a
/// single process, it is not safe to call this function more than once. (Many such modules will not
/// initialize correctly on the second run.)
///
/// # Panics
/// - If the Python interpreter is already initialized before calling this function.
///
/// # Safety
/// - This function should only ever be called once per process (usually as part of the `main`
///   function). It is also not thread-safe.
/// - No Python APIs can be used after this function has finished executing.
/// - The return value of the closure must not contain any Python value, _including_ `PyResult`.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// unsafe {
///     pyo3::with_embedded_python_interpreter(|py| {
///         if let Err(e) = py.run(c"print('Hello World')", None, None) {
///             // We must make sure to not return a `PyErr`!
///             e.print(py);
///         }
///     });
/// }

/// the interpreter is already running. If the `Once` is currently in
/// progress (another thread is inside `initialize()`), `call_once` blocks
