	I found this from a 2004 mailing on this list..
	os.path.mkdir('folder') 
	Doesn't work... there is no mkdir in os.path (old style maybe?)
	
	>>> os.path.mkdir('folder')
	Traceback (most recent call last):

	File "<input>", line 1, in ?
	AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mkdir'
	
	
	>>> dir(os.path)
	['__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__',
'abspath', 'altsep', 
	'basename', 'commonprefix', 'curdir', 'defpath', 'devnull',
'dirname', 'exists', 
	'expanduser', 'expandvars', 'extsep', 'getatime', 'getctime',
'getmtime', 'getsize', 
	'isabs', 'isdir', 'isfile', 'islink', 'ismount', 'join',
'lexists', 'normcase', 
	'normpath', 'os', 'pardir', 'pathsep', 'realpath', 'sep',
'split', 'splitdrive', 
	'splitext', 'splitunc', 'stat', 'supports_unicode_filenames',
'sys', 'walk']
	
	Anyways... could someone please point me in the right direction?

	I can use os.system('md test'), but that isn't cross platform...
	Hopefully nothing is wrong with my python installation.
	
	Thanks!

	You might try os.mkdir instead of os.path.mkdir
