Does not work with Nuitka

Nuitka creates a single executable out of your python code.

I’ve used platformdirs in a project of mine called mcrpc. The code itself runs fine, but the executable created with Nuitka spits out this error:

λ ./mcrpc-linux                                                                  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/.mount_mcrpc-h4h3HH/mcrpc.py", line 14, in <module>
  File "/tmp/.mount_mcrpc-h4h3HH/platformdirs/__init__.py", line 33, in <module platformdirs>
  File "/tmp/.mount_mcrpc-h4h3HH/platformdirs/__init__.py", line 29, in _set_platform_dir_class
  File "importlib.py", line 127, in import_module
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'platformdirs.unix'

It spits out a similar error on windows: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'platformdirs.windows'

Is there anything that can be done on platformdirs’ side to help it work well with Nuitka? You can try using the executables from v1.2.

The issue is the dynamic imports https://github.com/platformdirs/platformdirs/blob/2.4.1/src/platformdirs/__init__.py#L20-L33

Changing to actual import statements and executing the logic outside of that function should fix it.
