os.path.exists apparently doesn't always work!

[Larz60+]

This code should sense that there is no data sub-directory,
and create it, but it doesn't on windows 7, but I swear it worked in the past.

I guess i could use shutil

import os

datapath = f'{os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())}\\data'
if not os.path.exists(datapath):
    print('creating path')
    os.makedirs(datapath)
else:
    print('path exists')
