The optional parameter should be an octal file mode representing the desired permissions of the created directory. If mode isn;t specified use 0777. This is the default of os.makedirs() yet is not often what the created directory ends up with due to umask affecting the call.
The use of chmod() in this patch ensures that whatever octal is passed are the permissions the directory will have after creation. This is a behaviour change...
