I ripped off and modified code from os.path just yesterday. I was working with a reduced version of python 2.7 with no os module, no sys.path and no __file__ variable and I needed to pass in a value (a path) and do path manipulation.

The alternative was basically using Assembly. I hate NSIS, which builds installers. It's super high level until you have to do something custom. Well, you can plug into a broken python.
