of not making makedirs() behave this way from the beginning. If you want to add a new function, then what its name should be? I guess it should be too similar as existing ones. It's confusing for using because they have similar names and do the same major things except exception. For users it's easier to remember one function than tow. If we want to correct a mistake, it's better not to import another mistake. I don't like writing code that depends on particular errno values, because I don't trust it to work cross- platform. I think in this case, the errno is generate by c standard library, which can be seen as cross-platform. > > > -- > Greg > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ysj.ray%2Bpython-dev%40gmail.com > -- Ray Allen Best wishes!
