Split string into strings by length?

Question

Is there a way to take a string that is 4*x characters long, and cut it into 4 strings, each x characters long, without knowing the length of the string?

For example:

>>>x = "qwertyui" >>>split(x, one, two, three, four) >>>two 'er' 

Answer 1

>>> x = "qwertyui" >>> chunks, chunk_size = len(x), len(x)//4 >>> [ x[i:i+chunk_size] for i in range(0, chunks, chunk_size) ] ['qw', 'er', 'ty', 'ui'] 

Answer 2

I tried Alexanders answer but got this error in Python3:

TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

This is because the division operator in Python3 is returning a float. This works for me:

>>> x = "qwertyui" >>> chunks, chunk_size = len(x), len(x)//4 >>> [ x[i:i+chunk_size] for i in range(0, chunks, chunk_size) ] ['qw', 'er', 'ty', 'ui'] 

Notice the // at the end of line 2, to ensure truncation to an integer.
