I just noticed that Py_Initialize "does not set sys.argv; use PySys_SetArgvEx() for that." https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#c.Py_Initialize https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#c.PySys_SetArgvEx void PySys_SetArgvEx(int argc, wchar_t **argv, int updatepath) The latter treats failure to initialize sys.argv as fatal. It suggests that embedders might want updatepath = 0.
