Solution

Python
import os os.makedirs("proj/src/utils", exist_ok=True)for path in ["proj/README.md", "proj/src/main.py", "proj/src/utils/helpers.py"]:    open(path, "w").close()for folder, subfolders, files in os.walk("proj"):    depth = folder.count(os.sep)    print("  " * depth + os.path.basename(folder) + "/")    for name in sorted(files):        print("  " * (depth + 1) + name)
Output
proj/
  README.md
  src/
    main.py
    utils/
      helpers.py
