In fact, from what I understand with my limited scope from your post, the functionality you speak of could maybe be put to use as enhancements to the same.
Sigil is written in C and the source is readily available. Calibre is similar but in no way a copy of Sigil and is written in python. It was written as a new editor from the ground up. Depending on what the OP wants to do they are clearly not in the same direction and it would be hard to presume one is a better fit than the other.
