New submission from Carl Andersson <carl.a...@icloud.com>:
os.makedirs does not handle the empty string the same way as the os.path.XX
functions does. This is (to me) unexpected behaviour, since calls like
`os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(filename), exist_ok=True)` raises an exception if
`filename` does not contain any directories.
Also, it raises an `FileNotFoundError` regardless of the `exist_ok` flag. I
would expect `os.makedirs('')` to fail with `FileExistsError` and
`os.makedirs('', exist_ok=True)` to not do anything.
