For C++ and Java there is helper functionality in the LO SDK for 
3rd-party apps to find and access a LO installation, see 
<https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/C%2B%2B/Transparent_Use_of_Office_UNO_Components> 
and 
<https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Java/Transparent_Use_of_Office_UNO_Components>, 
respectively.  But I don't think something like that has ever been 
implemented for Python.

Look into what instdir/program/python (a shell script) is doing before 
executing instdir/program/python.bin (the actual python executable).
