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

Let's say you want to split a list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] into 3 element lists

like [[1,2,3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8]], where if the last remaining elements left are less than 3, they are grouped together.

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
my_list2 = [my_list[i:i+3] for i in range(0, len(my_list), 3)]
print(my_list2)

Output: [[1,2,3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8]]

Where length of one part is 3. Replace 3 with your own chunk size.
