Recursively create a file

[digitalquake]

Hello all I'm new to the world of python.

(please don't bully the scriptkiddo   )



I've wrote script that create folders in a specific location on a RAID,  updated every night to the cloud with a cronjob.
However, since the dosent' allow empty "folders", if one is not used will stay empty and won't be uploaded.
That's why I would like to add a recursive "touch" that create a hidden file, like store.oks or something similar, that allow AWSCLI (command line from amazon cloud) to properly update the whole folder structure.

Can someone help me out or point in the right direction, please?

here's a copy of the script

Hide/Show

#!/usr/bin/python

print 'Running script'
