    Just wondering:

    With Python 2.3.3 for Windows, I understand why
    os.makedirs("C:\SomeDirectoryThatDontExist\.\AnotherDirectory") fails
    throwing an exception saying "OSError: [Errno 17] File exists" - the
    period is like a request to create the same directory a second time.

    But is this the expected behavior ? I personaly would prefer to see
    this operation succeed - and don't like the idea of writing a
    workaround :)

    Comments ?

    Thanks,

    Jean-Marc Ranger
