I've run into the necessity of implementing chunks() again. Here is
the code I've made from scratch.
def chunks(seq, size):
'''Cut sequence into chunks of given size. If `seq` length is
not divisible by `size` without reminder, last chunk will
have length less than size.
>>> list( chunks([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], 3) )
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7]]
'''
endlen = len(seq)//size
for i in range(endlen):
yield [seq[i*size+n] for n in range(size)]
if len(seq) % size:
yield seq[endlen*size:]

Now that Python 3 is all about iterators (which is a user killer feature for Python according to StackOverflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python) would it be nice to introduce more first class functions to work with them? One function to be exact to split string into chunks.
itertools.chunks(iterable, size, fill=None)

P.S. CC'ing to python-dev@ to notify about the thread in python-ideas.
Anatoly, so far there were no negative votes -- would you care to go another step and propose a patch?
