make_path
=======================================

.. py:function:: petpal.utils.useful_functions.make_path(paths: list[str])

   Creates a new path in local system by joining paths, and making any new directories, if
   necessary.

   :param paths: A list containing strings to be joined as a path in the system
                 directory.
   :type paths: list[str]

   .. note::

      If the final string provided includes a period '.' (a proxy for checking if the path is a
      file name) this method will result in creating the folder above the last provided string in
      the list.
