Would something like this help? import os def failsafe_mkdir(dirname): try: os.mkdir(dirname) except: return False else: return True if __name__ == "__main__": dirname = 'adir' if failsafe_mkdir(dirname): print "ok\n" else: print "couldn't create %s\n" % dirname -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
