[issue5753] CVE-2008-5983 python: untrusted python modules search path

["Martin v. Löwis" <report@bugs.python.org> at psf.upfronthosting.co.za]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I wonder why all these applications call PySys_SetArgv at all if they
don't have any arguments to set. In the gedit case, I just removed the
call from gedit, and it seems to work fine (sys.argv will be an empty list).
