You can use the _winreg module on windows: First find out the path in the registry (eg starting regedit.exe and using its find function). Then you can query this path as I did it once to find the home directory of R:
key = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\R-core\\R")
value = _winreg.QueryValueEx(key, "InstallPath")[0]

If you are not familiar with the windows regstry: have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Registry
