Splitting a list into uneven groups?

Question

I know how to split a list into even groups, but I\'m having trouble splitting it into uneven groups.

Essentially here is what I have: some list, let\'s call it

Answer 1

A numpythonic approach:

>>> lst = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
>>> sec = [2, 4, 5]
>>> np.split(lst, np.cumsum(sec))
[array([0, 1]), array([2, 3, 4, 5]), array([ 6,  7,  8,  9, 10]), array([11])]

And here is a Python3.X approach using itertool.accumulate():

>>> lst = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
>>> sec = [2,4,6]
>>> from itertools import accumulate
>>> sec = list(accumulate(sec_lst))
>>> sec = [0] + sec + [None] if sec[0] != 0 else sec + [None]
>>> 
>>> [lst[i:j] for i, j in zip(sec, sec[1:])]
[[0, 1], [2, 3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8, 9, 10], [11]]
