The corect way is to try os.mkdir, catch the exception and check the
errno value, which tell you why the call failed.
If the directory exists, you can ignore the exception, if its another
error, you usually had to raise it again and let the caller handle it.
Example:
import errno
try:
os.mkd

import os

I suppose this also leads to the question of:
"Is there a way to determine if a path exists or n
