[issue9299] os.makedirs(): Add a keyword argument to suppress "File exists" exception

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Ray, what does mkdir -p do if the last target name exists but is a regular file rather than a directory? A slightly separate question is 'What do we want mkdirs to do (in this case)?'
