Might it be python 2.6? I notice that, in general, python is not
backward compatible - a major design error IMO. Its also quite easy (too
easy?) to write non-portable code. In addition there is more than one
flavour of Python for Windows which may or may not be compatible. I
wouldn't know: I've only looked at Python for Linux and have backed off
that once I realised that a 2.6 program isn't guaranteed to run under
2.7 or 3.2 - a disappointment, as apart from that, it seems quite a good
language.

Have you talked to the authors to see what version of Python they used
to write Calibre? 
 
What flavour of Python have you installed - Linux or Windows?
