Improvement ?

Just wondering:

With Python 2.3.3 for Windows, I understand why
os.makedirs("C:\SomeDirectoryThatDontExist\.\AnotherDirectory") fails
throwing an exception saying "OSError: [Errno 17] File exists" - the
period is like a request to create the same directory a second time.

But is this the expected behavior ?  I personaly would prefer to see
this operation succeed - and don't like the idea of writing a
workaround :)

Comments ?

Thanks,
