I have a directory containing 450 folders, all unique names. Inside this folder I need to create a sub-folder called Metadata, so it looks like the following: Folder1/Metadata Folder2/Metadata Folder3/Metadata

Is there a way using Python to create this example?

You can create a folder with os.makedir(path). See the docs for more information. – camelNeck Mar 28 at 10:23

The functions you are looking for are all in the os module:

import os
for item in os.listdir('.'):
    if os.path.isdir(item):
        newdir = os.path.join(item, 'Metadata')
        if not os.path.exists(newdir):
            os.makedirs(newdir)

I guess directories are not recursive as per the details, so mkdir should also work. – Ankit Jaiswal Mar 28 at 10:29
