Tomas, your patch is breaking an existing API, which may break existing uses (I'm not sure which ones, but people are doing lots of things with Python). That's why I proposed a separate API, which has the additional benefit of making things clearer rather than muddier. Besides, parsing of command line flags is already done in Modules/main.c, we shouldn't repeat it in sysmodule.c.
