I've written a similar tool; envtool --path --python python27.dll

Matches in %PATH:
       15 May 2013 - 21:43:38: f:\ProgramFiler\Python27\python27.dll
Matches in Python's sys.path[]:
       15 May 2013 - 21:43:38: f:\programfiler\Python27\python27.dll

(available at http://watt-32.net/misc/#envtool )

That will give you the path of python.exe. Not pythonXX.dll (as the
OP had problems with).

But by Windows DLL loading rules, it's IMHO safer to have pythonXX.dll
in the directory of python[w].exe. On Windows, ACAICR the Python MSI
installer puts pythonXX.dll in %Windir\system32. So it depends on how
the OP installed his Python.
