You're already hard coding the application path in the cmd script, so 
another approach to take is to set it in an environment variable instead 
and then use it both in the script and in your Python.

set APP_PATH=%NLPath%\PythonPackages\Development\Timesheet\backup
%PYTHONHOME%\python.exe %APP_PATH%\login_XRC.py

Then in your Python code do something like this:

	xrcpath = os.path.join(os.environ['APP_PATH'], 'login.xrc')
	self.res = xrc.XmlResource(xrcpath)
