New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <alexander.belopol...@gmail.com>:
Since issue1039 made it illegal to pass empty argument list to execv*, I
suggest to change signature of os.execl* functions and make arg0 a required
positional argument.
This is not a backward compatible change because os.execlp('true'), for
example will now raise TypeError instead of ValueError. However since
issue1039 change has not been released yet, I think this can be done.
