Ok, let’s do it here, that’s easier:


.. function:: makedirs(path, mode=0o777, exist_ok=False)

   .. index::
      single: directory; creating
      single: UNC paths; and os.makedirs()

   Recursive directory creation function.  Like :func:`mkdir`, but makes all
   intermediate-level directories needed to contain the leaf directory.

   The default *mode* is ``0o777`` (octal).  On some systems, *mode* is
   ignored.  Where it is used, the current umask value is first masked out.

   If the target directory exists, :exc:`OSError` is raised unless *exist_ok*
   is set to ``True`` and the mode doesn't contradict the designated mode as
   discussed in the previous paragraph.  If the mode doesn't match,
   :exc:`OSError` is raised regardless of the value of *exist_ok*.  If the
   directory cannot be created in other cases, an :exc:`OSError` exception is
   raised too.

   .. note::

      :func:`makedirs` will become confused if the path elements to create
      include :data:`pardir`.

   This function handles UNC paths correctly.

   .. versionadded:: 3.2
      The *exist_ok* parameter.


Python is so much easier than English. :'(
