python - create directory if path if it doesn`t exist for file write

create_directory.py

import os
directory = '/home/kenny/gist'

if not os.path.exists(directory):
    os.makedirs(directory)
    
   

needs quick fix with the typo *directory in line 2:

directroy = '/home/kenny/gist

directory = '/home/kenny/gist'

thanks you!

+1 thanks

Thank you!

Thank you!

Nice, thanks!

Thanks!

PS: You've a typo (directroy --> directory)

Thanks!

os.makedirs(directory, exist_ok=True)

os.makedirs(directory, exist_ok=True)

This syntax is actually in vs code intellisense. The second parameter is in case that exists returned true? which should be like if (os.....)

With pathlib:

from pathlib import Path

path_to_folder = Path("/home/kenny/gist")
path_to_folder.mkdir(exist_ok=True)

thx

here is create folder in python if not exists
