How to Create Directory If it Does Not Exist using Python?

In this article, We will learn how to create a Directory if it Does Not Exist using Python.

Method 1: Using os.path.exists() and os.makedirs() methods

Under this method, we will use exists() method takes path of demo_folder as an argument and returns true if the directory exists and returns false if the directory doesn’t exist. makedirs() method is used to create demo_folder directory recursively .i.e. while creating demo_folder  if any intermediate-level directory is missing then it will create all those intermediate missing directories. in the above case if the Lazyroar_dir is not present then it will first create Lazyroar_dir then it will create demo_folder

Directory Used:

Output:

Method 2: Using isdir() and makedirs()

In this method, we will use isdir() method takes path of demo_folder2 as an argument and returns true if the directory exists and return false if the directory doesn’t exist and makedirs() method is used to create demo_folder2 directory recursively .i.e. while creating demo_folder2  if any intermediate-level directory is missing then it will create all those intermediate missing directories. in the above case if the Lazyroar_dir is not present then it will first create Lazyroar_dir then it will create demo_folder2.
