split a string and build tuple

[GrelEns]

hello,

i'm looking for a pythonic and obvious way to do the following :

having a string space separated like : s = "w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w6 w7 w8..."
how to get : l = (('w1', 'w2', 'w3'), ('w4', 'w5', 'w6'), ('w7', 'w8', ...),
....) ?
(a kind of splitting and grouping in an elegant way)

i think that list comprehension or "zip" could maybe help but i just can't
get it work,

thanks.

Since it is space-separated use the Python function 'split' to get a
list of the separate "words." Then you can group them however you like
using list functions.

>>> import string
>>> s = "w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w6 w7 w8"
>>> x = string.split(s)
>>> x[/color][/color][/color]
['w1', 'w2', 'w3', 'w4', 'w5', 'w6', 'w7', 'w8'][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> for index in range(0, len(x), 3):[/color][/color][/color]
.... print x[index:index + 3]
....
['w1', 'w2', 'w3']
['w4', 'w5', 'w6']
['w7', 'w8']
