I am a habitual wheel re-inventor,
For anyone who hasn't yet discovered effbot's guide to the python
library, it's a good place to start as you expand your python skills.
see http://effbot.org/librarybook and in particular for your current
question, you'll find makedirs with sample code at
http://effbot.org/media/downloads/librarybook-core-modules.pdf
Although dated, it's still a great place to start as most internal
functions have changed little over the years.
Emile
so it would not surprise me, but I
made this little function that I was kinda proud of (seeing that I have
only been learning python like a week now):
It just takes a directory and checks to see if all the directories,
sub-directories exist and creates them if they don't:
def insure_exists_dir(dir):
grow_path = [dir]
while not os.path.ismount(grow_path[0]):
part_tuple = os.path.split(grow_path[0])
grow_path.insert(0, part_tuple[0])
del(grow_path[0])
while grow_path:
if not os.path.exists(grow_path[0]):
os.mkdir(grow_path[0])
del(grow_path[0])
return(dir)
Opinions? What should I really be using?
