Uh, forgive my obtuseness but why do you need to download and install Python separately?

You only need Python if you want to compile Calibre yourself. If all you need are the conversion tools, then you can do it from within Calibre or you can use the command line executables.

Also, conversion of formats can be discussed on the forum. I believe it's only discussion of DRM removal that is frowned upon.
