Python split list into n chunks

Question

I know this question has been covered many times but my requirement is different.

I have a list like: range(1, 26). I want to divide this list into a fi

Answer 1

Use numpy

>>> import numpy
>>> x = range(25)
>>> l = numpy.array_split(numpy.array(x),6)

or

>>> import numpy
>>> x = numpy.arange(25)
>>> l = numpy.array_split(x,6);

You can also use numpy.split but that one throws in error if the length is not exactly divisible.
