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']

我喜欢这个解决方案:

s = '1234567890'
o = []
while s:
    o.append(s[:2])
    s = s[2:]

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)))

一如既往，为那些喜欢一句俏皮话的人

n = 2  
line = "this is a line split into n characters"  
line = [line[i * n:i * n+n] for i,blah in enumerate(line[::n])]

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.

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']
