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

This function will return the list of lists with the set maximum amount of values in one list (chunk).

def chuncker(list_to_split, chunk_size):
    list_of_chunks =[]
    start_chunk = 0
    end_chunk = start_chunk+chunk_size
    while end_chunk <= len(list_to_split)+chunk_size:
        chunk_ls = list_to_split[start_chunk: end_chunk]
        list_of_chunks.append(chunk_ls)
        start_chunk = start_chunk +chunk_size
        end_chunk = end_chunk+chunk_size    
    return list_of_chunks

Example:

ls = list(range(20))

chuncker(list_to_split = ls, chunk_size = 6)

output:

[[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11], [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17], [18, 19]]
