Directory creation

[dirkzerwas]

Hi @apricePhy,

I would like to suggest to change the logic in main.py: if nor os.path.exists(output_directory): os.makedirs(output_directory)

to: if os.path.exists(output_directory): print(output_directory+" exists, will be removed and recreated") try: shutil.rmtree(output_directory) except OSError as e: print("Output directory already exists, but cannot be removed") print("Error : %s - %s." % (e.filename, e.strerror)) os.makedirs(output_directory)

This ensures a clean directory at the start, if we keep the "old" without cleaning, there might be intereference with old files (eg the KKMCee-default links etc which could lead to behaviour hard to debug.

Hi @apricePhy,

correction (my bad):

• the output directory existence is ok
• it's the "process" directory that could be clean, so it should be the second part:

  if os.path.exists(generator_directory):
      print(generator_directory+" exists, will be removed and recreated")
  try:
      shutil.rmtree(generator_directory)
  except OSError as e:
      print("Output directory already exists, but cannot be removed")
      print("Error : %s - %s." % (e.filename, e.strerror))
  os.makedirs(generator_directory)
