Comment (by anonymous):

 The attached patch (as well as r76290) seems to introduce memory leak in
 argv conversion code. When you return false from the loop in `bool
 mpi_init(list python_argv, bool abort_on_exception)`, memory allocated for
 argv_copy and argv_copy2 is not freed.

 Also, the following code returns 1 in case of error, which is converted to
 true (because function is returning boolean):

 {{{#!c++
 if (myresult != std::codecvt<wchar_t,char,mbstate_t>::ok )
 {
     fprintf(stderr, "failure translating argv\n");
     return 1;
 }
 }}}
