Returns the result of the expression.
The evaluate runs within the FileMaker process. If you cause an endless loop, FileMaker freezes and needs to be force quit, so please always include an exit condition for your loops. Also if you get Python to crash, FileMaker will crash with it. Use Shell functions to run Python in a separate process.

Try it:
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("Python.Evaluate"; $p; "1+2") ]
If [ MBS("IsError") or $r ≠ 3 ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "Failed to evaluate" ; $r ]
Exit Script [ Text Result: ]
End If
