Compiling python code that uses six.py somewhere in the import chain

Steps:

1. Compile any code that has six.py in it’s import chain - e.g. direct usage or imports some module which eventually imports six.py e.g.

~/temp/glances $ nuitka --python-version=3.5 --portable --recurse-all /usr/bin/glances 
Nuitka:WARNING:Unresolved '__import__' call at '/home/gsjy/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/six.py:82' may require use of '--recurse-directory'.

1. Try running the generated code. Result:

~/temp/glances$ glances.dist/glances.exe 
Traceback (most recent call last):

• Nuitka version 0.5.28.1, Python 3.5.2 and Python 2.7.12 on Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10
• Python installed and kept up to date by the APT, nuitka installed and managed by pip
• No virtualenv
• Looks like issue is not a regression.

Can you try out develop branch. I recall that I did some work around its meta path based importer, but I am unsure now.

@alex-pobeditel-2004 What makes you think this is the original issue, because it is not. Report a new issue.
