#- The error I get is:
#- ./mkdir.py jason 0777
#- Traceback (most recent call last):
#-   File "./mkdir.py", line 31, in ?
#-     _mkdir( sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2] )
#-   File "./mkdir.py", line 25, in _mkdir
#-     os.mkdir( newdir, mode )
#- TypeError: an integer is required
#- 
#- When I convert the mode from a string to an octal with
#- oct(int(sys.argv[2])) the permissions are all screwed
#- up.
#- 
#- Any help?

Always reduce the problem to it simplest form:

>>> perm = "0777"
>>> oct(int(perm))
'01411'

Also always say what you receive, why you don't like it, and what you
expect.

And an useful "Subject" won't hurt.
