另一个使用groupby和index//n作为键来分组字母的解决方案:

from itertools import groupby

text = "abcdefghij"
n = 3

result = []
for idx, chunk in groupby(text, key=lambda x: x.index//n):
    result.append("".join(chunk))

# result = ['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'j']

more_itertools。切片之前提到过。下面是more_itertools库中的另外四个选项:

s = "1234567890"

["".join(c) for c in mit.grouper(2, s)]

["".join(c) for c in mit.chunked(s, 2)]

["".join(c) for c in mit.windowed(s, 2, step=2)]

["".join(c) for c in  mit.split_after(s, lambda x: int(x) % 2 == 0)]

后面的每个选项都会产生以下输出:

['12', '34', '56', '78', '90']

所讨论选项的文档:grouper, chunked, windosed, split_after

为了完整，你可以用regex来完成:

>>> import re
>>> re.findall('..','1234567890')
['12', '34', '56', '78', '90']

对于奇数个字符，你可以这样做:

>>> import re
>>> re.findall('..?', '123456789')
['12', '34', '56', '78', '9']

你也可以这样做，简化正则表达式为更长的块:

>>> import re
>>> re.findall('.{1,2}', '123456789')
['12', '34', '56', '78', '9']

如果字符串很长，可以使用re.finditer逐块生成。

>>> from functools import reduce
>>> from operator import add
>>> from itertools import izip
>>> x = iter('1234567890')
>>> [reduce(add, tup) for tup in izip(x, x)]
['12', '34', '56', '78', '90']
>>> x = iter('1234567890')
>>> [reduce(add, tup) for tup in izip(x, x, x)]
['123', '456', '789']

另一种常见的将元素分组为n长度组的方法:

>>> s = '1234567890'
>>> map(''.join, zip(*[iter(s)]*2))
['12', '34', '56', '78', '90']

这个方法直接来自zip()的文档。

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.
