[docs] Documentation Bug in OS.makedirs?

I'm trying to use os.makedirs on Py3 (3.3 or 3.4) and pass in a path-
This works when I do so positionally, but throws an exception when I do so by keyword.
You can see an example at https://gist.github.com/e1ven/bb269423a7043e6fdc77 

When you look in the code at (http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3bb83f18851f/Lib/os.py) it looks like it's looking for the parameter "name", but the docs (http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/os.html) seem to say to pass "path".

Perhaps the Docs are incorrect here?
