howto? "def create_dir"

[Michael]

First of all I should have mentioned the script is running on HP-UX
workstations on the intranet.
What I am trying to do is not a "simple" os.makedir. It should be embedded
in a class where the directory name is given by a variable (after a name
resolving process).

I ´ll try to make an example:

class remote_copy(self,...):
    def command_rcp...
        dest_dir = /some/where

    def name_resolve(...):
        part_name1 = foo
        part_name2 = bar

    def create_dir(...):
        new_dir = dest_dir + "/" + "part_name1"


Maybe now you´ve got an idea of what I am trying to do... If not, please let
me know to give you more information.

Thanks,
Mike
