Please don't add yet another Py_SetXXX() to configuration Python before it's initialization. There is an on-going project, the PEP 432 of Nick Coghlan, to add a consistent and unique way to configure Python. Until this PEP is fully implemented, please only add private methods: rename it to _Py_SetProgramFullPath().

Why no calling it directly Py_SetExecutable() and set core_config->executable? Sorry, I only read quickly the bug and the PR.
