What about doing it yourself?

>>> import inspect, os
>>> print "<pre>%s</pre>" % inspect.getsource(os.makedirs)
<pre>def makedirs(name, mode=0777):
    """makedirs(path [, mode=0777])

    Super-mkdir; create a leaf directory and all intermediate ones.
    Works like mkdir, except that any intermediate path segment (not
    just the rightmost) will be created if it does not exist.  This is
    recursive.

    """
    head, tail = path.split(name)
    if not tail:
        head, tail = path.split(head)
    if head and tail and not path.exists(head):
        makedirs(head, mode)
        if tail == curdir:           # xxx/newdir/. exists if
xxx/newdir exists
            return
    mkdir(name, mode)
</pre>
