Thanks for making this PR!

One question... what happens if I use a path like ../path/to/thing? It's not absolute, but there's no need to mess with it, right?

Let me double check and sure it doesn't cause any issues

If you run in to trouble, an alternative strategy would be just to check outdirs to see if it's the empty string (e.g. if outdirs:) before calling os.makedirs to create non-existing directories.
