Here's my solution, for what it's worth:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
input = open("test.txt", "r")
counter = 0
fileNum = 0
fileName = ""
def newFileName():
global fileNum, fileName
while os.path.exists(fileName) or fileName == "":
fileNum += 1
x = "%0.5d" % fileNum
fileName = "%s.tmp" % x
return fileName
for line in input:
if (fileName == "") or (counter == 5):
if fileName:
output.close()
fileName = newFileName()
counter = 0
output = open(fileName, "w")
output.write(line)
counter += 1
output.close()
