Split a string to even sized chunks

How would I be able to take a string like 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' and split it into 4 length tuples like (aaaa,aaaa,aaaa)

Solution

  • Use textwrap.wrap:

    >>> import textwrap
>>> s = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
>>> textwrap.wrap(s, 4)
['aaaa', 'aaaa', 'aaaa', 'aaaa', 'aaaa', 'aaa']
