Creating a new directory or Folder :

To create a new Directory or folder , we use mkdir() method.

The folder that has been created is empty by now, but we can create multiple files in by simply creating a loop . Suppose i want to create 100 files in file folder , our code may look like this :

Copy

import os
for i in range(10):
    f = open(r'C:\Users\abhi\Desktop\files\FILE'+str(i),'x')
