Define easier :-)
You could just use string slicing and a stepsize of 3 in range:
lst = []
for index in range(0,len(mystring),3):
lst.append(mystring[index : index+3])
Or tutrning that into a comprehension
lst = [mystring[index : index+3] for index in range(0,len(mystring),3)]
is that easier? I'm, not sure... and you still have problems where the
string is not exactly divisible by 3, should you add padding?
