What's the best way to split a string into fixed length chunks and work with them in Python?

Question

I am reading in a line from a text file using:

   file = urllib2.urlopen(\"http://192.168.100.17/test.txt\").read().splitlines()

and output

Answer 1

I think this way is easier to read:

string = "when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book."
length = 20
list_of_strings = []
for i in range(0, len(string), length):
    list_of_strings.append(string[i:length+i])
print(list_of_strings)
