[Python] python - nuitka: Using --onefile together with --windows-onefile-tempdir-spec

could anybody please help me with this. (Windows 10 environment)

I am trying to compile a python program (hello.py) with the --onefile option.

python -m nuitka --onefile hello.py


This works very well.

Now, I wish to put the files, which hello.exe unpacks, not into the default ...temp... folder but in a folder selected by me, for example into C:\myFolder

The nuitka documentation tells us to use --windows-onefile-tempdir-spec=... and/or --onefile-tempdir-spec=...

But I cannot get it to work neither with nuitka 2.6 nor 2.7.

python -m nuitka --onefile --onefile-tempdir-spec=C:\myFolder hello.py


I always get the error message:

"__main__.py: error: The '--onefile-tempdir-spec' option requires
an argument with '--onefile-tempdir-spec='"


Does anybody know, how to do this?

The content of hello.py:

def myMain():
print("hello")

if __name__ == "__main__":
myMain()
