Possible Duplicates:
Split python string every nth character?
What is the most “pythonic” way to iterate over a list in chunks?

I need to split a string into equal parts. For example, if I have this string:

string = "123456781234567812345678"

I need to cut every 8 characters:

["12345678", "12345678", "12345678"]

This is actually a great application for a python list comprehension one-liner!

my_str="123456781234567812345678"
splits=[my_str[x:x+8] for x in range(0,len(my_str),8)]
//splits = ["12345678","12345678","12345678"]

Let me know if you have any questions.
