Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

sys.argv cannot be set until sys exists.  As I mentioned above, subsequent 
calls before finalization must continue to be no-ops.

Code that depends on a bug, in this case of sys.argv not existing, is always 
vulnerable.  In this case, I would expect that people who want sys.argv to have 
a particular value would unconditionally set it.  If it were conditionally set, 
the program would likely exit or otherwise fail a test.  I intentionally have 
not suggested backporting a code change.
