Introduction
A common task when working with systems is to create directories.
There can be times when you need to create a directory several layers deep.
The normal mkdir commands only let you create a single level at a time.
This example will show you how to create multiple directory levels at once,
the equivalent of running mkdir -p in the Bash shell.
Method 1) os.makedirs()
The easiest way to make multiple directory levels is with os package function os.makedirs() like this:
import os
os.makedirs('/path/to/new/dirs')
Method 2) pathlib.Path.mkdir()
You can also use pathlib package to create multiple directories like this:
from pathlib import Path
target_path = Path('/path/to/new/dirs')
target_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
Conclusion
After following this guide you should know how to create a new directory in Python 3 even if the children directories do not exist.
