The explanation is quite simple: in Py_Main, the arguments are converted from wide to byte strings, but the required length of the byte string is assumed equal to that of the wide string. Which gives: $ ./python -c "print('à')" Fatal Python error: not enough memory to copy -c argument Erreur de segmentation (core dumped) $ ./python -m à Fatal Python error: not enough memory to copy -m argument Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)
