Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
Guido: "Hm. I wonder if os.mkdir() should not be left alone (so as to continue
to match the system call most exactly, as is our convention) and the extra
functionality added to os.makedirs() only."
Sticking with that convention seems like a good idea. That would imply wrapping
the mkdir call within makedirs as something like
try:
mkdir(...)
except (<errs to be caught>:
if not exist_ok:
raise
mkdir could be changed in the future but not unchanged once changed.
Ray, can you make a simplified patch that leaves posixmodule.c alone, and make
sure it passes the old and new tests? I am 99% sure some version will be
applied for 3.2.
