Ray.Allen <ysj....@gmail.com> added the comment: I want to explain "mkdir -p" as this:
We want to create a specified directory, if such a directory doesn't exist, then create it. If such a directory already exists, then we have already reached our goal, do nothing. While we port this function to os.makedir(), there is a more specified information of the target directory, the "mode". If the target directory already exists but with a different mode, we need not create it, but we haven't reach our goal, yet. So we can raise a exception. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
