os.mkdir(path[, mode])
### Parameters
* **path** -- The directory to be created. It can be a relative or absolute path.
* **mode** -- The numeric permission mode to set for the directory.
### Return Value

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import os,sys
# Directory to be created
path ="/tmp/home/monthly/daily/hourly"
