抽象将是

l = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
n = 3
outList = []
for i in range(n, len(l) + n, n):
    outList.append(l[i-n:i])

print(outList)

这将打印：

[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

此时，我认为我们需要强制性的匿名递归函数。

Y = lambda f: (lambda x: x(x))(lambda y: f(lambda *args: y(y)(*args)))
chunks = Y(lambda f: lambda n: [n[0][:n[1]]] + f((n[0][n[1]:], n[1])) if len(n[0]) > 0 else [])

一种老式的方法，不需要itertools，但仍然可以使用任意生成器：

def chunks(g, n):
  """divide a generator 'g' into small chunks
  Yields:
    a chunk that has 'n' or less items
  """
  n = max(1, n)
  buff = []
  for item in g:
    buff.append(item)
    if len(buff) == n:
      yield buff
      buff = []
  if buff:
    yield buff

考虑使用matplotlib.cbook片段

例如：

import matplotlib.cbook as cbook
segments = cbook.pieces(np.arange(20), 3)
for s in segments:
     print s

抽象将是

l = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
n = 3
outList = []
for i in range(n, len(l) + n, n):
    outList.append(l[i-n:i])

print(outList)

这将打印：

[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

代码：

def split_list(the_list, chunk_size):
    result_list = []
    while the_list:
        result_list.append(the_list[:chunk_size])
        the_list = the_list[chunk_size:]
    return result_list

a_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

print split_list(a_list, 3)

结果：

[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10]]
