For the record I think I found a solution, now the wrapper works:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   if (argc < 2) {
     fprintf(stderr, "Usage = ./run <python_executable_path>");
     exit(1);
   }
   /* TODO: make the path absolute? is it necessary? */
   char *const to_run[] = {"python", RUNNER, (char *) 0};
   execv(argv[1], to_run);
   return 1;
}

and I only need to tell NSIS to create a shortcut passing as argument 
the path to the python executable,
nice and simple..
