Yes, it does. Have a look at line 148:
"""
if head and tail and not path.exists(head):
"""
> Instead, it tries a mkdir and looks if it gets an EEXIST.
Actually, EEXIST is just caught to cope with race conditions (i.e. the
directory got created in between, TOCTTOU race).

Actually, no.
makedirs() does a recursive depth-first traversal:
makedirs('/net/prodigy/foo') will actually do something like:
"""
stat('/net/prodigy/foo') == ENOENT
stat('/net/prodigy') == ENONENT
mkdir('/net/prodigy') == EPERM
"""
The NFS mount should appear upon the first - or second - stat() call,
before mkdir().
But I'd like to be sure about that, that's why I think an strace()
output would be useful ;-)
