I don't think you can actually use calibre's embedded python to be a general python interpreter release. Calibre's python strips out any libraries it doesn't need including the Tk gui libraries you would need to run DiapDealer's KindleImport and SmartenPunctuation plugins for Sigil.
In addition, I could not find any executable actually named python anyplace in the calibre.app distribution (at least on a Mac). I did find pre-compiled .pyo files and shared libraries (dlls on Windows) but no actual entry point called python.
There may be a way to trick it to work, but I don't know it. And even if you did, you would not be able to run any gui plugins. You would simply be better off installing a real Python interpreter. On Windows, I recommend the ActiveState ActivePython 2.7 community edition. It is free, comes with a nice installer, and can easily be uninstalled if you decide you do not want it.
Hope this helps,
