In Python, the os module provides a function called mkdir() that can be used to create directories. By default, mkdir() creates a single directory, but you can use the os.makedirs() function to create directories recursively.
Python os mkdir Recursive example
Here’s an example of how to use os.makedirs() to create directories recursively:
import os
# Create a directory named "parent_directory" in the current working directory
os.makedirs("parent_directory")
# Create a directory named "child_directory" inside "parent_directory"
os.makedirs("parent_directory/child_directory")
Output:
In the above example, os.makedirs() is used to create a directory named “parent_directory” in the current working directory. Then, it creates another directory named “child_directory” inside the “parent_directory”.
The os.makedirs() function creates all the intermediate directories if they don’t exist. So, in this example, if “parent_directory” doesn’t exist, it will be created first, and then “child_directory” will be created inside it.
You can specify the full path to the directory you want to create, including multiple levels of directories, and os.makedirs() will create them all recursively if needed.
