sys.argv represents the C main() argv array. Your inclination (in the linked to bug above) to leave sys.argv[0] alone is a good one.

No, it doesn't - it represents the state of argv after CPython's main function is done processing arguments (that's why we have a longstanding RFE requesting the availability of sys.raw_argv)

Cheers, Nick.
