Describe the Bug

When creating the package of some folders that contains the python files, package created successfully without any errors but it is giving error at application run time.

It's giving below error:

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token at new Script (node:vm:102:7) at readPrelude (node:internal/bootstrap/pkg:29:13) at node:internal/bootstrap/pkg:36:18 at node:internal/bootstrap/pkg:43:4 at node:internal/bootstrap/pkg:44:2

Note: I am not sure that the error is because of the python files. But above error only occures when creating package of node application which contains the python files in some folder.

Expected Behavior

It should work perfectly as it is working for other format files.

To Reproduce

Create node app. Just put a folder with some python files. And then try to create package including that folder.
