It isn't that unusual to poke within the inner workings of Python.  What
you've done here is actually a fairly common example of such a thing.  I
wouldn't hesitate to modify sys.argv if it gets the job done.  Believe
me, I've done far stranger things, which is one of the things I really
like about Python.  So, more power to you.  No crime committed.  ;-)
