Apparently, the above line should add a new folder in (say) '00'.
What it does, however, is trying to add the new folder in the object named
'folder' (accessible from 'self'). This may well go wrong.

Keep in mind, that the local name space of the function 'create'
(where your variable 'folder' lives) is disjunct from the attribute
namespace of 'self' (where the attribute 'folder' lives).
