os.path.join joins paths with the proper OS-dependend separator. So
os.path.join("a", "b", "c")
becomes
a/b/c
under unix. Naturally, joining dir and "-dummy" produces "<dir>/-dummy" -
which is what you see.
Instead, do something like this:
for d in os.walk(rootdir):
(dirpath, dirnames, filenames) = d
for dir in [dirpath]:
fname = os.path.basename(dir) + "-dummy"
if not os.path.exists( os.path.join(dir,fname) ):
f = open( os.path.join(dir,fname) ,
"w").write("")
