If it intended that setting :mkdirp yes should break tangling with 'director=
y-free' file names?

I.e., should
#############
#+TITLE: test
#+BEGIN_SRC python :mkdirp yes :tangle test.py
print 1+2
#+END_SRC
###############

tangle without error?=20

It currently doesn't because (file-name-directory "test.py"), which is nil, g=
ets passed to make-directory, which throws an error.=20

The manual is ambiguous, stating only that the arg to :tangle is interpreted=
 as a path. A strict reading says this shouldn't work, regardless of :mkdirp=
, since we're not giving a path, but I think the "understood ./" of :mkdirp n=
o is reasonable.=20

I'm not in a position to do so now, but can send a one-line patch to fix ton=
ight if wanted.=20
