Python make directory

[tiddster]

I have a list containing strings.
I want to make a directory for each item in the list, with the name of the directory being the string.

Does anyone know if this can be done, and it so, how?

I assume your internet connection is broken, so you can not use Google and your IDLE help file is deleted, so you can not use IDLE's help menu. :P

So, jokes aside, this kind of OS spesific, but generally available function are in os module.

So IDLE interactive use:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

just use mkdir function in os module
eg:
your list , l=
for i in l:
os.mkdir(i)

thats all for creating a list of folders in the current working directory
Look at the OS module docs for more functionalities
