I dislike the double decoding, and would prefer if sys.argv would be created directly from the wide command line. In addition, I think the patch is incorrect: it ignores the arguments to Py_Main, which is a documented API function. One solution might be to declare all these functions (Py_Main, SetProgramName, GetArgcArgv) to operate on Py_UNICODE*, and then convert the POSIX callers of Py_Main to use mbstowcs when going from the command line to Py_Main. WinMain could then become recompiled for Unicode directly, likewise Modules/python.c
