Hi,
I read some time ago a thread about calibre and python 2.7.1 on opensuse 11.4, unfortunately I deleted that e-mail and missed the thread.
So, calibre only need python 2.7.1 for "calibre/src/calibre/ebooks/metadata/sources/cli.py", more specifically a "option parser" problem reported here:
I made a crazy modification here (not a patch, actually a broken program) that consists of eliminating this parser.
Since most users do not use the calibre's CLI interface, that should be OK as (ugly) a work around until python 2.7.1 is on opensuse 11.4...
... or some more skilled than I could made a real patch :-)
Anyways, I'm running it here and so far I could use all of calibre's GUI features.

By the way, you can search the list archive:

I hope this isn't accepted, it solves nothing. While trying to find the issue, I immediatly stumbled upon this (calibre/src/calibre/linux.py):
def options(option_parser): parser = option_parser() ...
So that's a calibre bug. Anyways, you're trying to code around http://bugs.python.org/issue9161, which is indeed a regression in the optparse module. As calibre subclasses optparse.OptionParser, you may just want to fix the offending method by re-defining it (with it's python-2.7.1 version). See the attached patch or submit request sr#77540.
Updating Python in openSUSE-11.4 is another option...

Great, a real fix. Hope to see calibre 0.8x soon then.
