excellent!! that was the tip (+ "PySys_SetArgv") the worked ...

This now works:

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    PyObject *pName, *s, *pModule, *pDict, *pFunc;
    PyObject *pArgs, *pValue;
    int i;

    Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]);
    Py_Initialize();
    PySys_SetArgv(argc, argv);
    pName = PyString_FromString(argv[1]);
...
}

Thanks a bunch denis :)
