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

If order doesn't matter:

def chunker_list(seq, size):
    return (seq[i::size] for i in range(size))

print(list(chunker_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2)))
>>> [[1, 3, 5], [2, 4]]

print(list(chunker_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3)))
>>> [[1, 4], [2, 5], [3]]

print(list(chunker_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 4)))
>>> [[1, 5], [2], [3], [4]]

print(list(chunker_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 5)))
>>> [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]]

print(list(chunker_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 6)))
>>> [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], []]
