I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here but I can't see an elegant
way to do this. I want to create a directory, but if it exists it's
not an error and the code should just continue.
So, I have:-
for dirname in listofdirs:
try:
os.mkdir(dirname)
except FileExistsError:
# so what can I do here that says 'carry on regardless'
except:
# handle any other error, which is really an error
I'd do this:
from contextlib import suppress
for dirname in listofdirs:
with suppress(FileExistsError):
os.mkdir(dirname)
I'm fond of that approach too, though you can't use if it you really
wanted to do the
except:
# handle any other error, which is really an error
If you're okay letting Python just raise whatever other error it found,
then great!
