I use the following code for prgrams built with py2exe:
<snip>
import sys
import os
print os.path.dirname(sys.executable)
</snip>
This may work in your situation as well.

In fact I build an SFX archive with winrar where I specify a program to
launch once extraction has ended. The program is launched but don't find
it's sub-directory.
If I go to the extracted archive directory an dlbe-clic on " install.exe"
all runs fine, but whit winrar's "Run after extraction" option it
doesn't.
