Hi all,

in view of this problem, I am trying to understand whether there is a way of making Calibre to use the "system" installation of Python (in my case, Windows 32bit + Python 2.7.5) instead of the bundled Python libs (in my case, Windows 32bit + Python 2.7.4).

From my tests, it seems not possible, but I would like a confirmation from the experts. Alternatively, I would appreciate if the next Calibre for Windows will ship Python 2.7.5, since Python 2.7.4 is full of regression bugs at key libraries, like zipfile.

Thanks.
