Iteration over list slices

Question

I want an algorithm to iterate over list slices. Slices size is set outside the function and can differ.

In my mind it is something like:

for list_of_x

Expanding on the answer of @Ants Aasma: In Python 3.7 the handling of the StopIteration exception changed (according to PEP-479). A compatible version would be:

from itertools import chain, islice

def ichunked(seq, chunksize):
    it = iter(seq)
    while True:
        try:
            yield chain([next(it)], islice(it, chunksize - 1))
        except StopIteration:
            return
