For that, python has os.makedirs(dir)

*makedirs*( 	path[, mode])

    Recursive directory creation function. Like mkdir(), but makes all
    intermediate-level directories needed to contain the leaf directory.
    Throws an error exception if the leaf directory already exists or
    cannot be created. The default mode is |0777| (octal). On some
    systems, mode is ignored. Where it is used, the current umask value
    is first masked out. *Note:* makedirs() will become confused if the
    path elements to create include os.pardir. New in version 1.5.2.
    Changed in version 2.3: This function now handles UNC paths correctly.

You you may also use bb.mkdirhier(dir)
____
def mkdirhier(dir):
    """Create a directory like 'mkdir -p', but does not complain if
    directory already exists like os.makedirs
    """

    debug(3, "mkdirhier(%s)" % dir)
    try:
        os.makedirs(dir)
        debug(2, "created " + dir)
    except OSError, e:
        if e.errno != 17: raise e
