Even if it's ugly, calling Py_Main() after Py_Initialize() works in Python 3.6 by ignoring the new config of Py_Main(). I suggest to do nothing (just return) when Py_Initialize() is called again by Py_Main() in Python 3.7. It would fix the fontforge regression. I suggest to only enhance the code (really apply the new Py_Main() config) in the master branch. From what I saw, apply the new config is not trivial. It will take time to decide what to do for each option.
