If you want to post a problem/bug, to help us understand and resolve your issue please check that you have provided at least the information below, and discard up to here:

Nuitka version, full Python version and Platform (Windows, OSX, Linux …)

python -m nuitka --version 0.6.4 Python: 3.7.3 (v3.7.3:ef4ec6ed12, Mar 25 2019, 22:22:05) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] OS: Windows Arch: x86_64 wsPython: 4.0
How did you install Nuitka and Python (pip, anaconda, deb, rpm, from source, what is a virtualenv …), this is very important usually.

Nuitka and Python both from Windows installers (msi)
Many times when you get an error from Nuitka, your setup may be so special that even a “hello world” program will not work, please try that and report it instead.
If possible please supply a Short, Self Contained, Correct, Example that demonstrates the issue i.e a small piece of code which reproduces the issue and can be run with out any other (or as few as possible) external dependencies.

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(self,parent=None, title='Hello World')
        panel = wx.Panel(self)
        self.Show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.App()
    frame = MyFrame()
    app.MainLoop()

If this is a regression (used to work in an earlier version of Nuitka), please note what you know about that.

I’m trying to compile the example above into exe using the command py -m nuitka --follow-imports --standalone example.py but I’m getting the following error
