How can you make this directory creator a while loop?
0
So I made this directory creator (inspired) and I was thinking about how I could make it into a while loop, and if you exit the program it stops. Any tips?
def main():
dirName = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_letters + string.digits, k=111))
try:
# Create target Directory
os.mkdir(dirName)
print("Directory " , dirName , " Created ")
except FileExistsError:
print("Directory " , dirName , " already exists")
if not os.path.exists(dirName):
os.mkdir(dirName)
print("Directory " , dirName , " Created ")
else:
print("Directory " , dirName , " already exists")
dirName = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_letters + string.digits, k=111))
try:
os.makedirs(dirName)
print("Directory " , dirName , " Created ")
except FileExistsError:
print("Directory " , dirName , " already exists")
if not os.path.exists(dirName):
os.makedirs(dirName)
print("Directory " , dirName , " Created ")
else:
print("Directory " , dirName , " already exists")
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
python python-3.x

Please format your code correctly. If we copy-pasted that we wouldn't be able to run it and we wouldn't be able to guess where thigns should/shouldn't be indented

why do you execute similar code blocks 4 times, once with checking, once without, twice overall ?

You could create another function that runs main in an infinite while True loop. Then wrap that function call in a try: ... except KeyboardInterrupt: pass clause after the __name__ == __main__ check.
