Split list into even chunks

[danispag]

I have a list of objects and I need to split this list into chunks of 3 using the 'range' function.

Can it be done?

Thanks in advance

sel = cmds.ls(sl = 1)

halfSel = len(sel)/2

chunk_sep = []
for i in range (0,halfSel, 3):

chunk_sep.append([lst[i],lst[i+1],lst[i+2],lst[i+3],lst[i+4]])

sel = cmds.ls(sl = True)
num_elements_per_chunk = 3

sel = range(12)

result = []
for i in range(len(sel)/num_elements_per_chunk):
    if (i+1)*num_elements_per_chunk <= len(sel):
        result.append(sel[i*num_elements_per_chunk:(i+1)*num_elements_per_chunk])

print result

num_chunks = 6
chunk_length = len(sel)/num_chunks
result = []
for i in range(num_chunks):
    if (i+1)*chunk_length <= len(sel):
        result.append(sel[i*chunk_length:(i+1)*chunk_length])

print result

here are examples of how to split a list based on number of chunks or a specific chunks length
