[Tutor] creating directories

[Lloyd Kvam]

The os module has a function called makedirs which will make the
directories in a path.  You can then use open to create the file.

os.makedirs('dir1/dir2/dir3', mode= <default is 0777>) # umask will also be applied
myfile = open('dir1/dir2/dir3/name.html', 'wt')
