Create a folder (if it doesn't exist) on google drive and upload the file to it using Python script

For now, I can upload the file to the folder if it exists. However, I cannot figure out how to create it. So if the folder doesn't exist, my script dies.

import sys
from pydrive.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive.drive import GoogleDrive

gpath = '2015'
fname = 'Open Drive Replacements 06_01_2015.xls'

gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()
drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)

file_list = drive.ListFile({'q': "'root' in parents and trashed=false"}).GetList()
for file1 in file_list:
    if file1['title'] == gpath:
        id = file1['id']

file1 = drive.CreateFile({'title': fname, "parents":  [{"kind": "drive#fileLink","id": id}]})
file1.SetContentFile(fname)
file1.Upload()

Could you please help me modify the above code to create the gpath folder if it doesn't exist?

Based on the documentation it should be



file1 = drive.CreateFile({'title': fname, 
    "parents":  [{"id": id}], 
    "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.folder"})
