create folders in python

# This requires Python’s OS module
import os

# 'mkdir' creates a directory in current directory.
os.mkdir('tempDir') 
# can also be used with a path, if the other folders exist.
os.mkdir('tempDir2/temp2/temp')

# 'makedirs' creates a directory with it's path, if applicable.
os.makedirs('tempDir2/temp2/temp') 

newpath = 'C:\Program Files\arbitrary' 
if not os.path.exists(newpath):
    os.makedirs(newpath)

import os

# define the name of the directory to be created
path = "/tmp/year"

try:
    os.mkdir(path)
except OSError:
    print ("Creation of the directory %s failed" % path)
else:
    print ("Successfully created the directory %s " % path)

newpath = r'C:\Program Files\arbitrary' 
if not os.path.exists(newpath):
    os.makedirs(newpath)
