TypeError: 'str' object is not callable (create a folder in the same directory)

I want to create a folder in the same directory, where have i gone wrong? 

def selection():
    print "Content Profiling"
    print "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
    print " 'G', 'PG13', 'NC16', 'M18', 'R21' "
    selectionInput = raw_input("Please select your content profile")
    if selectionInput == "G":
        root = os.curdir()
        path = root+"/G"
        os.makedirs( path, 0755 );

Output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\guicmd.py", line 44, in <module>
    selection()
  File "C:\Python27\guicmd.py", line 38, in selection
    root = os.curdir()

os.curdir is not a function but a constant string. Just is it as a value:

root = os.curdir

While you are at it, you can improve your code by using os.path.join.

path = os.path.join(os.curdir, "G")
os.makedirs(path, 0o755)
