The thread is meant as an encouragement for people like you.

Calibre development isn't easy, if you want to have good understanding of the entire source and if you want to make "big" changes that have impact on many parts of program. But making one tiny change, using 95% of the code that is already working might be easier than you think.

Python programming language used by Calibre is known for it's good readability and for encouraging programmer to write easily maintainable code (as opposed to, for example, Pearl)
