Creating a new Folder with given path [duplicate]

Question

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']

what do you want exacly? and maybe you can have a look into the module os.path. — J. Goedhart

Use the os library, specifically os.mkdir()

https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#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)

Thank you very much Adam! It took me some time to understand what I was doing. I'm new to programming less than a year. landed an internship with a data science team. So this is all a learning experience for me. You were able to solve my issue.

This won't work if intermediate directories don't exist (e.g. if /usr/temp doesn't exist). You need os.makedirs
