Splitting a list into N parts of approximately equal length

Question

What is the best way to divide a list into roughly equal parts? For example, if the list has 7 elements and is split it into 2 parts, we want to get 3 elements in o

Answer 1

My solution, easy to understand

def split_list(lst, n):
    splitted = []
    for i in reversed(range(1, n + 1)):
        split_point = len(lst)//i
        splitted.append(lst[:split_point])
        lst = lst[split_point:]
    return splitted

And shortest one-liner on this page(written by my girl)

def split(l, n):
    return [l[int(i*len(l)/n):int((i+1)*len(l)/n-1)] for i in range(n)]
