Anyway, I'll try to install the plugin on a notebook where is only Python 2.6 and will se if it works there and then I'll publish the results here.

I'm definitely interested in your results. I'm not a Pythonist either but I am a long-time Windows user and have seen some pretty interesting issues over the years and have had pretty good luck fixing them. Sometimes Windows (and other software) treats the registry like a gas station bathroom.

Calibre installs with all required dependencies, but it's peacefully coexisting with a standard Py 2.6 install on my system. I'm thinking the issue has to do with the stuff that the Kindelabra package installed, either a conflict of some sort or just a glitch when it installed that may have left some mixed up registry issues.

If it works on the other computer, I recommend uninstalling those other things using RevoUninstaller if you're comfortable with it. It does a deep clean but it lets you see everything before you give it the okay to delete any extra files or registry entries.

Or you can use CCleaner to check for registry errors and export them to a text file without actually making any changes to your system. I can explain it if you're interested and have never used it. (I never actually instruct people to clean their registry - I try to find problems and give possible options. CCleaner has never messed anything up for me but I don't want to be responsible if it ever does. I'd rather see what it finds and see if that points to the problem. No need to use a nuke when a flyswatter will do.)
