Bug Report

🐛 Bug Description

To make my dependency on Nuitka future-proof, I am declaring it in a requirements.txt file as:

nuitka [onefile] == 2.7.16

Unfortunately the onefile extra group doesn't seems to be recognized.

🖥️ Environment

1. Nuitka Version, Python Version, OS, and Platform

$ uv run -- nuitka --version                                                                                             
2.7.16
Commercial: None
Python: 3.13.7 (main, Aug 14 2025, 11:12:11) [Clang 17.0.0 (clang-1700.0.13.3)]
Flavor: Homebrew Python
GIL: yes
Executable: ~/code/workflows/.venv/bin/python3
OS: Darwin
Arch: arm64
macOSRelease: 26.0.1
Version C compiler: /usr/bin/clang (clang 17.0.0).

$ uv run python --version   
Python 3.13.7

$ uv --version                                     
uv 0.9.0 (39b688653 2025-10-07)

🛠️ To Reproduce

Just create an empty venv with uv:

$ mkdir test

$ cd test

$ pip install uv

$ uv venv
Using CPython 3.11.11
Creating virtual environment at: .venv
Activate with: source .venv/bin/activate

$ source .venv/bin/activate

And then try to install Nuitka:

$ uv pip install "nuitka [onefile] == 2.7.16"
Resolved 3 packages in 4ms
Installed 3 packages in 15ms
 + nuitka==2.7.16
 + ordered-set==4.1.0
 + zstandard==0.25.0
warning: The package `nuitka==2.7.16` does not have an extra named `onefile`

📉 Expected Behavior

I expect Nuitka to be installed with the extra dependencies from the onefile group, as defined by:

https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/blob/8c24828a20a665d98132cb373562598b3729d743/setup.py#L481

📄 Actual Behavior & Output

uv warn that onefile does not exist:

warning: The package `nuitka==2.7.16` does not have an extra named `onefile`

💡 Additional Context

These new extra groups where added in Nuitka/Nuitka@80102e6

I think for 2.7 only the wheel was added, and these are for 2.8, which will be released shortly. I believe this issue has to be a duplicate somehow from the original request.

[kayhayen]

This is part of the stable release 2.8 that I just made.

This is part of the stable release 2.8 that I just made.

Thanks @kayhayen for the update!

Here is the proof that 2.8 solves the issue:

$ uv pip install "nuitka [onefile] == 2.8.0" 
Resolved 3 packages in 2.86s
      Built nuitka==2.8
Prepared 2 packages in 1.03s
Installed 3 packages in 10ms
 + nuitka==2.8
 + ordered-set==4.1.0
 + zstandard==0.25.0

Now of course all forms of docs need an update, any takers @KRRT7 ?

[KRRT7]

I am transferring the issue to Nuitka-Website as it's now that
