Python, how to create dir within dir?

I'm trying to create a directory(workdir2) which is in the 'workdir1' directory I made. In this situation, what can I do ?

input_file: name

input_file.txt

Code:

import os
target_name=os.path.basename(input_file).strip().split('.')[0]
workdir1=os.mkdir(target_name + '_prep')
workdir2=os.mkdir('output_file_prep')

Expected result: made path:

./input_file_prep/output_file_prep/
Solution

  • You can use mkdirs

    import os

input_file = "something.txt".split(".")[0]


def mkdirp(path):
    try:
        os.makedirs(path, exist_ok=True)
        print("Done")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)


mkdirp(f'./{input_file}_prep/output_file_prep')
