Hynek Schlawack <h...@ox.cx> added the comment:

I looked into the code. Assuming it should be added, we're facing the fact that 
os.mkdir() is C code ATM and the handling of the error would require to 
implement it for NT and Unix separately.

Therefore it would make sense to add a Python os.mkdir() that handles this 
(basically try: _mkdir(dirname) except FileExistsError: pass) and make the C 
implementation private.

OTOH you could argue that if you just want to ensure that that a directory 
exists, you could just as well use os.makedirs() with exists_ok so I'm kind of 
-0 on the whole thing.
