Error when building standalone with Nuitka-Python

See original GitHub issue

How did you install Nuitka and Python

Did you use pip, anaconda, deb, rpm, from source, git clone, then install into a virtualenv or not, this is very important usually.

Run from source using Nuitka Python.

Provide in your issue the Nuitka options used

Ideally use the project feature, so options and example code go alone

Nuitka Options in the code

test.py: print("Hello World")

-m nuitka --standalone test.py

    macOS: Added support for mixing --onefile and --macos-create-app-bundle

    * For some software, e.g. PySide2 it will actually be the only way
      to get it working.

I am adding a resetDirectory that first removes a directory and then creates it again, for use in these cases, that should solve the issue.
