Perhaps all we need is a recipe in the docs:

try:    os.makedirs(path) except OSError, e:    if e.errno != 17:        raise

I don't like writing code that depends on particular errno values, because I don't trust it to work cross- platform.

I use errno.EEXIST instead of a magic number. later, -- Clinton Roy Software Engineer Global Change Institute University of Queensland humbug.org.au  - Brisbane Unix Group clintonroy.wordpress.com - Blog flickr.com/photos/croy/ - Photos
