Do I have to manually create the combined folder when using Python's Minimatic module?

Question

Hi,

I'm using the Python library Minimatic found at this site: Minimatic

What this essentially does is it minifies and combines all your css and js files into one file. When deploying my Pylons web application on the server, does this mean I have to manually create the combined folders? So if I have the the directory as such:

/public
|
|--/combined
   |
   |-/js
   |-/css
|
|--/css
|--/js

In /public/css and /public/js, this is where I store all my regular uncompressed css and js. In /public/combined/js and /public/combined/css, that's where I specify the combined property for JS and CSS files in my python code. Do I need to manually create the combined directories in my server or will Minimatic create them for me?

Thanks -Mark

Yes, Minimatic will, as of this writing, create the directories for you. I found this out by reading the source code on GitHub - lines 149 to 166 or so have your answer.
