Package Installation and Usage

The package is available on PyPI:

python -m pip install parts

The library can be imported in the usual ways:

import parts
from parts import parts

Examples of usage are provided below:

>>> list(parts2([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], length=2))
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7]]

>>> list(parts2([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], length=4))
[[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7]]

>>> list(parts2([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], number=1))
[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]]

>>> list(parts2([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], 5))
[[1], [2], [3], [4, 5], [6, 7]]

>>> list(parts2([1,2,3,4,5,6], 2, 3))
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

>>> list(parts2([1,2,3,4,5,6], number=3, length=2))
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]

>>> list(parts([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], 7, [1,1,1,1,1,1,1]))
[[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]]

>>> list(parts([1,2,3,4,5,6], length=[2,2,2]))
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]

>>> list(parts([1,2,3,4,5,6], length=[1,2,3]))
[[1], [2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

>>> list(parts2([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], number=3, length=2))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
ValueError: list cannot be split into 3 parts each of length 2
