help using os.mkdir

[Lozbinator]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a directory in my python script, the following is a snippet of some of my code:

[tt]import shutil
import os
import copy
import os.path
import os.mkdir

.....

for folder in wf:
mkdir("C:/CorVuReports/" + folder)

.....
[/tt]

Testing prior to adding "mkdir" was fine. However when I run this now, I get the error "ImportError: No module named mkdir".

I'm trying to create a directory for every item in my list "wf".

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, problem is that mkdir is a method, not a module. Try:

from os import mkdir

Import has three structures, only when using the from statement can you import a specific method or variable from a module.

The grammer for this is located here:

Could do this also....


import os

.....

for folder in wf:
os.mkdir("C:/CorVuReports/" + folder)
