Actually calibre includes only those parts of Qt (and PyQt) that it uses. For example the SQL drivers are left out (calibre uses python's sql support). calibre uses almost all of the python stdlib and several other python packages, but even there docs/tests etc are stripepd out and the only the least space intensive form of the python files (compiled to optimized bytecode) are included in the binary releases.
