Re-Create directory in Python

I had to implement this code frequently, and I really don’t like it, so I’m leaving it here.

import os
import shutil

def create_directory(
    path: str, 
    recreate: bool=False
):
    if os.path.exists(path):
        if recreate:
            shutil.rmtree(path)
            os.makedirs(path)
    else:
        os.makedirs(path)
