Python Error 123 The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
I experienced a similar error while working in jupyter notebook.similar to
OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect:
And i figured it out to be a double slash instead of single. I don't know why i had to give double back slash(\) instead of single. How ever it solved my problem Even before a day i used the same single back slash() to change directory. Please comment if someone knows about it.

It works fine when path isD:\screenshots\data
os.mkdir("D:\screenshots\data")
but it gives error when path is
D:\screenshots\subs:air.com.freshplanet.games.MoviePop:moviepop.vip.1month
os.mkdir("D:\screenshots\subs:air.com.freshplanet.games.MoviePop:moviepop.vip.1month") [Error 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'D:\\screenshots\\subs:air.com.freshplanet.games.MoviePop:moviepop.vip.1month'
