Python check if a directory exists, then create it if necessary and save graph to new directory?

os.mkdirs() is not a method in os module. if you are making only one direcory then use os.mkdir() and if there are multiple directories try using os.makedirs() Check Documentation

You are looking for either:

os.mkdir

Or os.makedirs

https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html

os.makedirs makes all the directories, so if I type in shell (and get nothing):

$ ls
$ python
>>> import os
>>> os.listdir(os.getcwd())
[]
>>> os.makedirs('alex/is/making/a/path')
>>> os.listdir(os.getcwd())
['alex']

It has made all the directories and subdirectories. os.mkdir would throw me an error, because there is no "alex/is/making/a" directory.
