On systems that are not Unix-derived (which, nowadays, are rare), there is commonly no such thing as a program name in the first place. It is possible to get into that state on some Unices - i.e. ones which have a form of exec that takes a file descriptor, inode number or whatever.
I don't think that applies to the Python args[] though, since its args[0] isn't the path of the OS-level executable, it's the path of the main Python script.
But you could still end up without one, if the main script comes from somewhere other than a file.
