Go ahead and download the standalone version.

Yes, it has its own copy of python, and yes, calibre has its own copy, and yes, you will likely install python. However, it is worth it (to me) to burn some disk space to get ease of update -- each of the tools can be updated without affecting the other. In addition, getting standalone installers deals with prerequisites.
