The makedirs method of the os module
The makedirs method creates folders recursively, i.e. one folder will contain other subfolders. The first parameter of the method specifies the path to the folders, the second optional parameter specifies the access mode to them, and the third optional parameter specifies error management (by default exist_ok=False). The method returns the value None.
Syntax
import os
os.makedirs(path to folders, [access mode], [error management])
Example
Let's create a new folder with nested subfolders along the path dir/tst/new:
import os
os.makedirs('dir/tst/new')
