>From the code, this arg is simply passed to os.mkdirs() here: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e6e34e45222b9c7a63ba92386612acf768082ba0/Lib/shutil.py#L450 os.mkdir is documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.makedirs and says just "If exist_ok is False (the default), an FileExistsError is raised if the target directory already exists." So I agree that the sentence you highlighted can be improved. Would you like to submit a patch? ---------- nosy: +iritkatriel _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44347> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
