I don't see that there is a function in the library that mimic the behavior of 'mkdir -p'. If 'makedirs' is used, it will generate an error if the file already exists. There are some functions available on the website to close the gap. But I'd prefer this is in the library. Is there any plan to add a function that mimic the behavior of 'mkdir -p'?
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/82465-a-friendly-mkdir/ Presumably a new keyword argument could be added to os.makedirs. Could you raise a feature request on the python bug tracker, preferably with patch and tests of course!
It would be worth searching to see if there is an existing feature request for this, and if so you can add a comment to it.
All the best,
