I like the idea of exposing Python's command line flags, but I think this API is a bit odd. I'd rather see it be a struct with members named after the various arguments and values that are ints or bools -- or simply a bunch of new flags directly in the sys module if making it a string is too much work. It also looks like the patch includes a few unrelated changes to install.py and site.py.
