[issue8454] unittest Module Problem with different Kinds of Invocation

[Perbandt]

Perbandt <adalbert.perbandt at infineon.com> added the comment:

Yes, the proposed fix would be an incompatible change. But my assumption is that in scenarios where main(...) is called programmatically the fix would correct an erroneous behavior. In these scenarios whatever is being passed as the first entry in the argv array gets lost currently. Possibly many users who already noticed this implemented a workaround (I changed the pyunit Ant task's code to add a dummy argument as the first element in the argv array).
