  • Welcome to SO! Are you using a Jupyter Notebook to create a new directory? – medium-dimensional Oct 29 '22 at 19:18

    That's a command for your operating system's command line - but you're typing it at a Python interactive prompt, instead. – jasonharper Oct 29 '22 at 19:19

The mkdir (make directory) is an operating system command, not a command in Python..

If you want use it in python, try in function like this:

import os

os.mkdir(path, mode=0o777, *, dir_fd=None)
