Subject: [Tutor] OS lib creating an directory using an absolute path.

All,



I am using the os library. If I have a directory structure with any missing
directory (folders), then the os.mkdir function fails as it cannot find the
filenamefilename. For example:



Current directory structure is:



C:\books  with nothing inside.



The path I am wanting to create is:



E:\books\a\anne rice



Yes, I could break the path and check each level of the directory. But I was
wondering if there was any other method to do this. As if you do this at
Windows 10 command line:



Mkdir E:\books\"a\anne rice"



The 'a' directory plus 'anne rice' is also created.



I hope this makes sense. Python 3.8 under windows 10.



Sean
