python中已经有一个内置的函数。

>>> from textwrap import wrap
>>> s = '1234567890'
>>> wrap(s, 2)
['12', '34', '56', '78', '90']

这是wrap的文档字符串说的:

>>> help(wrap)
'''
Help on function wrap in module textwrap:

wrap(text, width=70, **kwargs)
    Wrap a single paragraph of text, returning a list of wrapped lines.

    Reformat the single paragraph in 'text' so it fits in lines of no
    more than 'width' columns, and return a list of wrapped lines.  By
    default, tabs in 'text' are expanded with string.expandtabs(), and
    all other whitespace characters (including newline) are converted to
    space.  See TextWrapper class for available keyword args to customize
    wrapping behaviour.
'''

试试下面的代码:

from itertools import islice

def split_every(n, iterable):
    i = iter(iterable)
    piece = list(islice(i, n))
    while piece:
        yield piece
        piece = list(islice(i, n))

s = '1234567890'
print list(split_every(2, list(s)))

使用PyPI中的更多itertools:

>>> from more_itertools import sliced
>>> list(sliced('1234567890', 2))
['12', '34', '56', '78', '90']

短字符串的简单递归解决方案:

def split(s, n):
    if len(s) < n:
        return []
    else:
        return [s[:n]] + split(s[n:], n)

print(split('1234567890', 2))

或以这样的形式:

def split(s, n):
    if len(s) < n:
        return []
    elif len(s) == n:
        return [s]
    else:
        return split(s[:n], n) + split(s[n:], n)

，它更明确地说明了递归方法中的典型分治模式(尽管实际上没有必要这样做)。

我认为这比itertools版本更短，更可读:

def split_by_n(seq, n):
    '''A generator to divide a sequence into chunks of n units.'''
    while seq:
        yield seq[:n]
        seq = seq[n:]

print(list(split_by_n('1234567890', 2)))

使用groupby的解决方案:

from itertools import groupby, chain, repeat, cycle

text = "wwworldggggreattecchemggpwwwzaz"
n = 3
c = cycle(chain(repeat(0, n), repeat(1, n)))
res = ["".join(g) for _, g in groupby(text, lambda x: next(c))]
print(res)

输出:

['www', 'orl', 'dgg', 'ggr', 'eat', 'tec', 'che', 'mgg', 'pww', 'wza', 'z']
