I don't see that there is a function in the library that mimic the

library. Is there any plan to add a function that mimic the behavior
of  'mkdir -p'?

Presumably a new keyword argument could be added to os.makedirs. Could you raise a feature request on the python bug tracker, preferably with patch and tests of course!

It would be worth searching to see if there is an existing feature request for this, and if so you can add a comment to it.

All the best,
