Parsing string into fixed-width pieces

[Johnson, Brad]

Hello,

I'm new to Python and have been combing the documentation and the message
archive here for information on splitting a string into fix-width pieces.  I
assume their is an easy way to do this, I just don't seem to be able to find
it in the reference material.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Brad
