nested directory in Python

Problem:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "makesubdir.py", line 3, in <module>

    path.mkdir()

  File "/home/xxxx/yyyyy/lib/python3.7/pathlib.py", line 1230, in mkdir

    self._accessor.mkdir(self, mode)

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/xxxxx/yyyyyy/zzzzDirectory'

Solution:

Creating a Nested Directory with pathlib

Instead of below code:

Path.mkdir(mode=0o777, parents=False, exist_ok=False)

use below code that is with pathlib

from pathlib import Path 

path = Path("/home/xxxxxx/yyyyDirectory/zzzzzDir") 

try:

    path.mkdir() 

except OSError:

    print("Failed to create nested dir")

else:

    print("Nested directory created")
