Py_SetPythonHome takes a *wchar_t not a *char, this is obvious from
looking at the header,

However I tried using this function and couldn't get it working until I
made the home variable a static string.

when looking at the source this is obvious, but should be documented...

void
Py_SetPythonHome(wchar_t *home)
{
	default_home = home;
}

Fixed in r74794 and r74795.
