Creating folder in python [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

I want to create a folder after an hour of the current time in python. I know how to get the current time and date and to create a folder. But how to create a folder at a time specified by me. Any help would be appreciated.

from datetime import datetime
from datetime import timedelta
import os
while True:
now = datetime.now ()
#print(now.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
y = datetime.now () + timedelta (hours = 1)
#print(y.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
if now== y:
os.makedirs (y.strftime ("%H/%M/%S"))


will this work?

EDIT :- I have to run the code continuously i.e. creating folders at every instant of time

to create multiple folders after every 60 sec, folders like New1, New2,...

import time

while True:
time_Begin = time.time()

print("Creating Folder....")
# CODE FOR CREATING FOLDER AND CONDITION

time_End = time.time()
time_Elapsed = time_End - time_Begin
time.sleep(60-time_Elapsed)


Until external process not done

import time
import random


def creatingFolder():
while externalProcess() != 30:
timeBegin = time.time()

print("Creating Folder....", timeBegin)

timeEnd = time.time()
timeElapsed = timeEnd - timeBegin
time.sleep(5-timeElapsed)


def externalProcess():
return random.randint(1, 30)

creatingFolder()


Try this simple code

import os
import time

while True:
time.sleep(3600) # pending for 1 hour (3600 seconds)
os.makedirs(your directory) # create the directory


EDIT (using parallel programming)

import os
import time
from datetime import datetime
from multiprocessing import Pool

def create_folder(now):
# you can manipulate variable "now" as you wish
time.sleep(3600) # pending for 1 hour (3600 seconds)
os.makedirs(your directory) # create the directory
return

while True:
pool = Pool()
now = datetime.now()
result = pool.apply_async(create_folder, [now]) # asynchronously evaluate 'create_folder(now)'


this may consume many of your computer resources

while True:

check this post for better explanation,you can create a function which will run after given time and you can use this function for creating a folder by simple one line code
os.makedirs("pathdirectory name")
