 Isn’t there a possible raise condition here?  I think it’s recommended  to follow EAFP for mkdir and makedirs. Since this is setup.py, I don't think we care. (I assume you meant "race condition", not "raise condition")

Indeed, the pre-check is OK here due to the fact that we control "build_temp", so other processes shouldn't be creating a directory with the same name.

Cheers, Nick.
