[ Python 常見問題 ] What's the best way to split a string into fixed length chunks

 Source From Here

Question
As title, I want a function as below:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. def split_text_into_n_chuck(text, n=2):  
2.   pass  

So I can use it this way:

>>> text = 'abcdefghijk'
>>> split_text_into_n_chuck(text)
['ab', 'cd', 'ef', 'gh', 'ij', 'k']

HowTo
A simple implementation as below:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. def split_text_into_n_chuck(text, n=2):    
2.     return [text[i:i+n] for i in range(0, len(text), n)]  

For example:

>>> split_text_into_n_chuck(text, n=3)
['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'jk']
