For such specialized use case, write a C extension.

Even if a general sequence-chunking function is thought useful,
it might be worth providing a special-purpose one as a string

I prefer str.join() approach: write a single chunks() function which
takes a sequence, instead of modifying all sequence types around the
world ;-)
It's less natural to writ

Steven D’Aprano was giving me an idea (in the bytes.hex delimiter discussion):
I had very often the use case that I want to split sequences into subsequences
of same size.
How about adding a chunks() and rchunks() function to sequences:
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7].chunks(3) => [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7]]
"1234“
