How can I split a file in python?

Question

Is it possible to split a file? For example you have huge wordlist, I want to split it so that it becomes more than one file. How is this possible?

Answer 1

Sure it's possible:

open input file
open output file 1
count = 0
for each line in file:
    write to output file
    count = count + 1
    if count > maxlines:
         close output file
         open next output file
         count = 0
