How to create new folder? [duplicate]
You can create a folder with os.makedirs()
and use os.path.exists() to see if it already exists:
newpath = r'C:\Program Files\arbitrary' if not os.path.exists(newpath): os.makedirs(newpath)If you're trying to make an installer: Windows Installer does a lot of work for you.
You probably want os.makedirs as it will create intermediate directories as well, if needed.
import os#dir is not keyworddef makemydir(whatever): try: os.makedirs(whatever) except OSError: pass # let exception propagate if we just can't # cd into the specified directory os.chdir(whatever)
