Insert element in Python list after every nth element

Question

Say I have a Python list like this:

letters = [\'a\',\'b\',\'c\',\'d\',\'e\',\'f\',\'g\',\'h\',\'i\',\'j\']

I want to insert an \'x\' after

Answer 1

It's worth stating the simple implementation too:

letters = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j']

i = 3   #initial step
while i < len(letters):
    letters.insert(i,'x')
    i = i + 3 + 1  #increment step by one for every loop to account for the added element

It does use basic looping and inserting, but it also looks much simpler and comfortable to read than the one-liner examples, which IMHO makes it more Pythonish as requested in the first place.
