Split string into strings by length?

Question

Is there a way to take a string that is 4*x characters long, and cut it into 4 strings, each x characters long, without knowing the length of the s

Answer 1

length = 4
string = "abcdefgh"
str_dict = [ o for o in string ]
parts = [ ''.join( str_dict[ (j * length) : ( ( j + 1 ) * length ) ]   ) for j in xrange(len(string)/length  )]
