So I'm wondering, what's the reasoning behind this? Is there an alternative library to use?\r\n\r\nEspecially in small shell scripts it can be far more convenient (and clearer) to do:\r\n```python\r\npath.join('something').write('some text', ensure=True)\r\n```\r\nThan writing:\r\n```python\r\nif not os.path.isdir(path):\r\n    os.makedirs(path)\r\n\r\nwith open(os.path.join(path, 'something'), 'w') as fh:\r\n    fh.write('some text')\r\n```"}}
