[BUG] pyarmor v7.6 produces its output only once

[gbertolino]

I am working with pyarmor v7.6 and an application written with python 2.7.16
We have not purcheased the last pyarmor version because it did not work.
The version 7.6 instead seemed work properly.
When trying to obfuscate our application anything seems OK but instead of producing
a new version ofdist directory, pyarmor reproduces the old one.

This is the report of the Obfuscate script:

Could you reproduce it in an empty path with one simple script foo.py?
