Calibre often crashes in macOS

Thank you.
I have this Python error:

***@*** MacOS % ./calibre-debug -g

There was an error initializing the bypy frozen importer:
<class 'FileNotFoundError'>: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'python-lib.bypy.frozen'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File bypy-importer.py, line 416, in <module>
  File bypy-importer.py, line 352, in __init__

This is very surprising, as I have python3 installed:

***@*** MacOS % python3 --version
Python 3.9.6

No log.

That indicates your calibre install is corrupted, re-install.

I already did that dozens of times: download from the website, copy-paste etc.

However, I paste the app in a subfolder of /Applications directory:

/Applications/_Multimédia/eBooks

I just tried on the parent folder /Applications... and it launches. Which is not the case in the subdirectory /Applications/_Multimédia/eBooks.
Same goes for the calibre-debug -g command.

I saw that the version 7.16 has been published today.
I did the test with version 7.16.
Again, it doesn't run on the subfolder.

It seems that Calibre doesn't like French characters in the path...
