Slice a binary number into groups of five digits

Question

Is there any neat trick to slice a binary number into groups of five digits in python?

\'00010100011011101101110100010111\' => [\'00010\', \'00110\', \'10111\', ... ]

Answer 1

Per your comments, you actually want base 32 strings.

>>> import base64
>>> base64.b32encode("good stuff")
