I don't know if it's better, but StringIO let you read a string as if it
was a file:
def chunkify(s, chunksize):
f = StringIO.StringIO(long_string)
chunk = f.read(chunksize)
while chunk:
yield chunk
chunk = f.read(chunksize)
f.close()
Now I'm sure someone will come up with a solution that's both far better
and much more obvious (at least if you're Dutch <g>)
