os.makedirs python AttributeError

Question

i'm having a os library error, and it seems that there aren't much info about it on the net. When i try to create a folder in ubuntu 14.04 using my python script:

from os  import *

ncpath = "lol"

if not path.exists(ncpath):
    makedirs(path,0755)

this error is returned:

  File "/home/user/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 85, in split
    i = p.rfind('/') + 1
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'rfind'

can someone help me figure out what's going on ?

Answer 1

Here:

makedirs(path,0755)

You are passing the path module itself instead ncpath which is your string.
