Given the premise of the thread is using Kovid's release, not thirdparty versions, I call unfair comparison.
But regardless I'm not sure I understand your objection. Are you implying the mix of python and calibre versions has any downside other than being an installer you chose to use for your decision to install an old version of calibre?
Does it crash or refuse to work? Is there no obvious way to solve the problem?
Why do something that makes you unhappy if you could do something that is less effort
and makes you happy?
How is this a counter-argument to my point about artificial Windows 7 restrictions by using an OS that doesn't play silly paid versioning games or block your device from receiving updates unless the hardware is new enough to satisfy some arbitrary rule? "Sure, you might think linux is so great but if you try, you can still be unhappy"?
