How to get the n next values of a generator in a list (python)

Question

I have made a generator to read a file word by word and it works nicely.

def word_reader(file):
    for line in open(file):
        for p in line.split():

To get the first n values of a generator, you can use more_itertools.take.

If you plan to iterate over the words in chunks (eg. 100 at a time), you can use more_itertools.chunked (https://more-itertools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html):

import more_itertools
for words in more_itertools.chunked(reader, n=100):
    # process 100 words
