Don't bother creating folders on certain times, just check if the required folder exists when you want to write the file into it. If it doesn't, create it right then and there. Format the current date into the name of the folder.

You can use the os module to make a folder. And to make a folder everyday you can make a while loop and you can use the time module for it.

And you can name it by saying -

date.today()

inside the argument of the makedirs method

Hope it helped a bit :)
