Have you tried PySys_SetArgv?

This code looks strange: you open file and create Python file object
from its descriptor (PyFile_FromString), then get descripto back
(PyFile_AsFile) to pass it to PyRun_SimpleFile.  Why don't you just use
C fopen function?

I believe it's due to PyFile_FromString failing to open non-existent
file.  You must check return value of it.
