mv(somepath, "dev/Example") fails with ERROR: SystemError (with /tmp/foobar/dev/Example): mkdir: No such file or directory when the dev directory does not exist.

I first thought that mv expected that Example be an existing directory. Mentioning that dev is the problem, and not Example, would have helped me understand the issue more quickly.
