从 Python 3.5 开始, pathlib.Path.mkdir 有一个 exist_ok 旗帜:

from pathlib import Path
path = Path('/my/directory/filename.txt')
path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) 
# path.parent ~ os.path.dirname(path)

此可重复创建目录,如果目录已经存在,则不会产生例外。

(就像 os.makedirs 得到 exist_ok 旗帜从 python 3.2 e.g os.makedirs(路径, exist_ok=True))

注意:当我发表这个答案时,没有其他提到的答案存在_OK...

查看 os.makedirs: (它确保完整的路径存在) 要处理可能存在的目录的事实,查找 OSError. (如果存在_ok 是假的(默认情况下),如果目标目录已经存在,则会升起 OSError。

import os
try:
    os.makedirs('./path/to/somewhere')
except OSError:
    pass

我找到了这个Q/A之后我被一些失败和错误我得到,当我在Python的目录工作,我在Python 3工作(在一个Anaconda虚拟环境中的3.5在一个Arch Linux x86_64系统)。

考虑此目录结构:

└── output/         ## dir
   ├── corpus       ## file
   ├── corpus2/     ## dir
   └── subdir/      ## dir

下面是我的实验 / 笔记,提供澄清:

结论:我认为“方法2”更强大。

[1] 我如何安全地创建一张被锁定的目录?

[2] https://docs.python.org/3/图书馆/os.html#os.makedirs

最快的安全方式是:如果不存在,它会创造,如果不存在,它会消失:

from pathlib import Path
Path("path/with/childs/.../").mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

我个人建议您使用 os.path.isdir() 测试而不是 os.path.exists()。

>>> os.path.exists('/tmp/dirname')
True
>>> os.path.exists('/tmp/dirname/filename.etc')
True
>>> os.path.isdir('/tmp/dirname/filename.etc')
False
>>> os.path.isdir('/tmp/fakedirname')
False

如果你有:

>>> directory = raw_input(":: ")

一个愚蠢的用户输入:

:: /tmp/dirname/filename.etc

... 您将以 filename.etc 命名的目录结束,当您将该论点转移到 os.makedirs(),如果您使用 os.path.exists()进行测试。

您可以使用 os.listdir 为此:

import os
if 'dirName' in os.listdir('parentFolderPath')
    print('Directory Exists')
