Python, how to create a directory
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
To create a directory, use the os.mkdir()
method provided by the os
standard library module:
import os
dirname = '/Users/flavio/test'
os.mkdir(dirname)
Creating a folder can raise an OSError
exception, for example if the disk is full or the directory already exists, so we use a try block to catch it and gracefully handle the problem by printing an error message:
import os
dirname = '/Users/flavio/test'
try:
os.mkdir(dirname)
except OSError:
print('Failed creating the directory')
else:
print('Directory created')
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
