python mkdir to make folder with subfolder?

PythonOperating SystemDirectoryMkdir

Python Problem Overview

This works:

mkdir('folder')

but this doesn't

mkdir('folder/subfolder')

error:

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'folder/subfolder'

Python Solutions

Solution 1 - Python

Try os.makedirs instead, if you want to create a tree of directories in one call.

Solution 2 - Python

I tried the above on Linux using Python 2.6.6, but had to ensure that the string ended with a '/' (or '', on Windows). E.g.

os.makedirs('folder/subfolder/')

Otherwise only 'folder' was created.

Solution 3 - Python

I think you want the os.makedirs() function, which can create intermediate directories.
