"data/" directory automatic removal

[drzraf]

By default, the instanciation of a Pinterest() empties any data/ directory present in the current directory.
I happened to actually have a directory named data/ in the same folder where I ran my script.
I lost every file it contained after the first launch of my Python script.

It's really unpleasant and there are many ways to do things differently:

• Bail-out
• Not emptying the directory
• Not overriding files it contains
• Using /tmp/
• Using a temporary or fancy directory name
• ...
