They are not in the bypy sources, they are in the calibre sources in a folder named bypy.

ImportError: cannot import name 'USER_BASE' from 'site' (/opt/calibre/lib/calibre-extensions/python-lib.bypy.frozen/site.pyc)

You are welcome to add USER_BASE to site.py.

The documentation at https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...ypy/README.rst seems to be out of date, and running the commands as specified does not work.

Its not out of date as far as I know and if you want help with something failing, post the error message and ask for help.
