I suspect he wants os.mkdirs()

mkdir makes one directory.
mkdirs creates a full path.

os.mkdirs("/a/b/c")  creates a,b and c directories.
os.mkdir("/a/b/c")  generates an error unless /a/b already exists.

Of course there is a potential for some really strange paths 
to be created accidentally, but in this case it seems safe....
