I'm -0 on adding an argument to os.makedirs, +0 on adding a variant function to os, and +0.5 on adding the variant to the shutil module.
shutil seems like the place for it to me. The subtlety of getting the error suppression correct makes it worth implementing this once and for all I think.
Really - so we have two almost identical functions with slightly different behaviour in different standard library modules? Aren't the Python APIs for working with files and paths confused enough already. That seems crazy to me and a switch on os.makedirs much more sensible.
Yep, me too. Bill
