# Python3.x Python3 os.makedirs() Method [ Python3 OS File/Directory Methods](#) * * * ### Overview The os.makedirs() method is used to recursively create multiple directories. If the creation of a subdirectory fails or it already exists, an OSError exception will be raised. On Windows, Error 183 is the exception error indicating that the directory already exists. If the first argument `path` has only one level, meaning it only creates a single directory, then it is the same as the [mkdir()](#) function. ### Syntax The syntax format for the **makedirs()** method is as follows: os.makedirs(name, mode=511, exist_ok=False) ### Parameters * **path** -- The directory to be created recursively. It can be a relative or absolute path. * **mode** -- The permission mode. The default mode is 511 (octal). * **exist_ok**: Whether to trigger an exception if the directory already exists. If `exist_ok` is False (the default), a FileExistsError exception is triggered if the target directory already exists; if `exist_ok` is True, no FileExistsError exception is triggered if the target directory already exists. ### Return Value This method does not return a value. ### Example The following example demonstrates the use of the makedirs() method: ## Example #!/usr/bin/python3 import os,sys # Directory to be created path ="/tmp/home/monthly/daily" os.makedirs( path,0o777); print("The path was created") Executing the above program outputs the following result: The path was created [ Python3 OS File/Directory Methods](#)
