Looks good to me.
Without the fix, the test fails on Windows 7 as expected.

Yes, it's probably a better solution. If had been more careful, I wouldn't have
scribbled so much text here :) .
But is there any sense in adding Windows-specific test with EACCES since the
problem with errno may affect other platforms as well (a
Daniel Plachotich added the comment:
You mean msg254341? As I mentioned recently, it still will raise an exception
in case of EROFS, ENOSPC and possibly other values, which, as in the case
with Windows, can be quite unexpected depending on platform and circumstances.
Of course there is no

Maybe the solution is to leave OSError catching after the conditional

if not (exist_ok and path.isdir(name)):
try:
mkdir(name, mode)
except OSError as e:
if not exist_ok or e.errno

Of course, exist_ok must be taken into account:
if not (exist_ok and path.isdir(name)):
mkdir(name, mode)

Of course in examples I create '.' by hand, but in real code such things are
mostly automatic. Assume, for example, that you have a function for downloading
files:

New submission from Daniel Plachotich:
Since Windows 7 (or even Vista), Windows gives permission error(5,
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
if you try to create a directory in a drive root with the same name as a drive
itself,
even if you have administrative permissions. This behavior is not mentioned in
