I tend to agree. Perhaps all we need is a recipe in the docs:try: os.makedirs(path) except OSError, e: if e.errno != 17: raise
What if the path or a parent of it already exists as a file? If one has requested -p I believe one typically wants this to be an error. And I assume that one would not use the literal 17 in production code.
