Split a string into N equal parts? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Recursive way:

def split_str(seq, chunk, skip_tail=False):
    lst = []
    if chunk <= len(seq):
        lst.extend([seq[:chunk]])
        lst.extend(split_str(seq[chunk:], chunk, skip_tail))
    elif not skip_tail and seq:
        lst.extend([seq])
    return lst

Demo:

seq = "123456789abcdefghij"

print(split_str(seq, 3))
print(split_str(seq, 3, skip_tail=True))

# ['123', '456', '789', 'abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'j']
# ['123', '456', '789', 'abc', 'def', 'ghi']
