---

Is_File

---

---

JoinPath

Takes one or more strings or Path objects.

from pathlib import Path
p = Path('.')

t = p.joinpath('temp')

---

Match

---

MkDir

from pathlib import Path
p = Path('.')

t = p.joinpath('temp')
t.mkdir(parents=False, exist_ok=True)

If a parent directory does not exist, FileNotFoundError is raised. If the parents option is set to True though, the missing parents are recursively mkdired instead.

If the directory already exists, FileExistsError is raised. If the exist_ok option is set to True though, this error is suppressed. If a file already exists at the named location, FileExistsError is raised regardless of the exist_ok option.
