Create nested folders.
Create a folder and any missing parent folders in one call. Running the code again is safe when the folder already exists.
from pathlib import Path
folder = Path("output/reports/2026")
folder.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
print(folder.is_dir())Expected output EXAMPLE
True
Details
Uses only the Python standard library; no pip packages are required. See the verification record below for the exact Python version tested.
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS · · Python 3.12.3 · python3 3.12.3-0ubuntu2.1
Test inputs, results and environment
The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.

Test input setup
These are the prepared inputs used by the test harness. See Details above for the prerequisites and how to run this example.
# No input files required.
Observed standard output
True
Exit code: 0. Standard error: empty. Validation: Exact stdout comparison. System-dependent values above are one recorded run.
Additional assertions that passed
Checks recorded by the test harness. Where Python assertions are shown, browser cases use Playwright and simulator cases may inspect pin transitions: result.stdout is captured output, work is the temporary directory, and Path is pathlib.Path. The harness also imports json and csv.
