I made a function in Python (WinOS) that ends up creating new directories (where future work is stored). So at some point, I define the directories and after I use os.mkdir(os.pahth.join('current_dir', 'new_dir1', 'new_dir2')). And it works.
The problem is that this same function is not working on Linux OS (Ubuntu). In Linux I can only generate a single directory. I.e.:
os.mkdir(os.path.join('current_dir', 'new_dir1', 'new_dir2')) returns error :
(OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/[current_dir]/new_dir1/new_dir2')
but:
os.mkdir(os.path.join('current_dir', 'new_dir1')) - This works, returns the single directory
but I need to create 2 directories in Linux, not one...
I have tried several "easy combos" such as
new_dirs = os.path.join('new_dir1', 'new_dir2')
os.mkdir(os.path.join('current_dir', new_dirs)
returns the same error:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/[current_dir]/new_dir1/new_dir2'
What I do (and works in Linux) is the next:
#Generate the path for the output files
working_path = os.path.join(outfile_path, 'First_Corregistration', 'Split_Area', '')
#Verify is the path exist, if not, create it.
if not os.path.exists(working_path):
os.mkdir(working_path)
Can somebody tell me how to create 2 or more new directories (one inside the other) with Linux. I highlight again what is more weird: My current solution works with Windows, but not with Linux.
instead of os.mkdir use os.makedirs, should work.
simple example:
os.makedirs("brand/new/directory")
should create the directories: brand, new and directory
from https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.mkdirs :
Recursive directory creation function. Like mkdir(), but makes all intermediate-level directories needed to contain the leaf directory.
