python tree-structure

I'm wondering if any of you have created a function to create a folder within a given path.

For Example: NewFolder = ['/projects/Resources/backup_Folder']

Answer

Use the os library, specifically os.mkdir()

For example,

path = "/usr/temp/foo"
os.mkdir(path)

If the intermediate folders don't exists, use os.makedirs as per Peter Wood's comment

path = "/newfolder1/newfolder2/foo"
os.mkdir(path)
