[Tutor] need help with string

[alan.gauld@bt.com]

> I have a long string say 80 characters and want to split into

strg = """This is very long string
dfjksajdfkjskajfkjsdkajfksdjkfjkdjsakfjkdsjakfjsdkj"""
arr_str = []

while len(strg) > 10:
   elem = strg[:10]   # slice out 1st 10 chars
   strg = string[10:]  # assign remainder to strg
   arr_str.append(elem) # add to array

arr_str.append(strg)  # now less than 10 chars long

print arr_str

However the string library method might have some magic for 
doing that in one go, I haven't checked...
