Steven you are right, isDirEmpty() isn't even used. That's what
happens when you try to get a last minute thread going 5 minutes
before home time! ;-)
Thanx for the responses guys! It's been very useful :)

So it seems:
>>> os.mkdir('die-die-die')
>>> os.mkdir('die-die-die/stuff')

root
+ Dir1
+ Dir2
+ Dir3

import os
