You know, you can skip calibre's GUI altogether and just use the many and rich command line tools calibre comes with. Then you can keep your files in whatever directories you like and still get almost all the power calibre offers. Heck, you could write your own GUI that served as a wrapper for calling those tools in your own way. (And it wouldn't need to be written in python.)

I use ebook-convert, ebook-meta and pdfmanipulate several times a week. But I almost never fire up calibre's GUI, and definitely don't keep my files in its Library folders. Used in this way, calibre is already more flexible than you may realize.
