Elegant way to make all dirs in a path

Question

Here are four paths:

p1=r\'\\foo\\bar\\foobar.txt\'
p2=r\'\\foo\\bar\\foo\\foo\\foobar.txt\'
p3=r\'\\foo\\bar\\foo\\foo2\\foobar.txt\'
p4=r\'\\foo2\\bar\\foo\\fo         


        

Answer 1

On Python 3.6+ you can do:

import pathlib

path = pathlib.Path(p4)
path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
