Re: Simple List division problem

I have gotten a little further, but not in the order of the original list def divide_list(lst, n): return [lst[i::n] for i in range(n)] x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] y = 3 z = divide_list(x,y) print z[0] print z[1] print z[2] this prints: [1, 4, 7, 10] [2, 5, 8] [3, 6, 9] closer, but I w

Simple List division problem

How do I divide a list into a set group of sublist's- if the list is not evenly dividable ? consider this example: x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] y = 3 # number of lists I want to break x into z = y/x what I would like to get is 3 sublists print z[0] = [1,2,3] print z[2] = [4,5,6] print z[3] =
