I understand all the good arguments explained before, and I am agree
with them.
Nevertheless, I implement Python bindings from a generic parallel
framework and a new application based on this framework needs to call a
kind of initilization class : the constructor arguments are argc and
argv... Then, the previous solution can be a work around to test some
behavours of my bindings.
Thanks for your answers ;-)
