title: Makedirs error unexpected keyword argument 'exists_ok'
body: <p>I am trying to use python to create a new folder and if that folder already exists not giving me an exception. Hence I am running the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os 
  
  os.makedirs('test', exist_ok=True)  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am then getting the error </p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\...\testing.py", line 3, in &lt;module&gt;
      os.makedirs('test', exist_ok=True)  
  TypeError: makedirs() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exist_ok'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't really understand what this means or why its not working? </p>
  
  <p>I cannot really find that much documentation on exist_ok other than it is new to python 3.2 below </p>
