Try using this according to this question:

def resource_path(relative_path):
    """ Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
    base_path = getattr(sys, '_MEIPASS', os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
    return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)

And than in your app:

os.popen(resource_path('sometool.exe'))

This should work. I use this everyday :)
