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

A simple way to build the paths in POSIX systems. Assume your path is something like: dirPath = '../foo/bar', where neither foo or bar exist:

path = ''
for d in dirPath.split('/'):
   # handle instances of // in string
   if not d: continue 

   path += d + '/'
   if not os.path.isdir(path):
      os.mkdir(path)
