-   :c:member:`PyConfig.safe_path` should be used instead, see :ref:`Python
-   Initialization Configuration <init-config>`.
-
-   Set :data:`sys.argv` based on *argc* and *argv*.  These parameters are
-   similar to those passed to the program's :c:func:`main` function with the
-   difference that the first entry should refer to the script file to be
-   executed rather than the executable hosting the Python interpreter.  If there
-   isn't a script that will be run, the first entry in *argv* can be an empty
-   string.  If this function fails to initialize :data:`sys.argv`, a fatal
-   condition is signalled using :c:func:`Py_FatalError`.
-
-   If *updatepath* is zero, this is all the function does.  If *updatepath*
-   is non-zero, the function also modifies :data:`sys.path` according to the
-   following algorithm:
-
-   - If the name of an existing script is passed in ``argv[0]``, the absolute
-     path of the directory where the script is located is prepended to
-     :data:`sys.path`.
-   - Otherwise (that is, if *argc* is ``0`` or ``argv[0]`` doesn't point
-     to an existing file name), an empty string is prepended to
-     :data:`sys.path`, which is the same as prepending the current working
-     directory (``"."``).
-
-   Use :c:func:`Py_DecodeLocale` to decode a bytes string to get a
-   :c:expr:`wchar_t*` string.
-
-   See also :c:member:`PyConfig.orig_argv` and :c:member:`PyConfig.argv`
-   members of the :ref:`Python Initialization Configuration <init-config>`.
-
-   .. note::
-      It is recommended that applications embedding the Python interpreter
-      for purposes other than executing a single script pass ``0`` as *updatepath*,
-      and update :data:`sys.path` themselves if desired.
-      See :cve:`2008-5983`.
-
-      On versions before 3.1.3, you can achieve the same effect by manually
-      popping the first :data:`sys.path` element after having called
-      :c:func:`PySys_SetArgv`, for example using::
-
-         PyRun_SimpleString("import sys; sys.path.pop(0)\n");
