Creating Year, Month, Day Folder Python

If the path doesn't exists the code working fine but when year(2021) folder exists it just stops working after the first condition

def check_path():
    from datetime import datetime, timedelta  

    dt = datetime.today()
    year = str(dt.year)
    month = str(dt.month)
    day = str(dt.day)
    
    path = os.path.join( year)
        
    if not os.path.exists(path):
        os.mkdir(path)   
        path = os.path.join(path, month)

        if not os.path.exists(path):
            os.mkdir(path)      
            path = os.path.join(path, day)
            

            if not os.path.exists(path):
                os.mkdir(path)

The final result I want it is //2021//08//26 folders created

For linux should work for you:

import os
import time

os.makedirs(f'/folder/root/{time.strftime("/%Y/%m/%d")}', exist_ok=True)

If you want to create folder in file directory path then you can use following code:

import os
import time

current_dir = os.getcwd()

os.makedirs(f'{current_dir}/{time.strftime("/%Y/%m/%d")}', exist_ok=True)

You used nested conditions... So, Put conditions as below to achieve your desired output:

if not os.path.exists(path):
    os.mkdir(path)
path = os.path.join(path, month)

if not os.path.exists(path):
    os.mkdir(path)
path = os.path.join(path, day)
    
if not os.path.exists(path):
    os.mkdir(path)

I recommend using Path from path lib like this:-

from pathlib import Path
from datetime import datetime

t = datetime.today()
basedir = '/Users/andy'

Path(f'{basedir}/{t.year}/{t.month:02d}/{t.day:02d}').mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

Note: This is for Unix type systems. For Windows adjust path separator appropriately
