Creating a subdirectory

Python has a rich cross-platform operating system (OS) interface
Skip Unix- or DOS-specific commands; do all OS operations in Python!
Safe creation of a subdirectory:
dir = case              # subdirectory name
import os, shutil
if os.path.isdir(dir):  # does dir exist?
    shutil.rmtree(dir)  # yes, remove old files
os.mkdir(dir)           # make dir directory
os.chdir(dir)           # move to dir
