Dear Group,

I am encountering a small question.

Suppose, I write the following code,

input_string=raw_input("PRINT A STRING:")
string_to_word=input_string.split()
len_word_list=len(string_to_word)
if len_word_list>9:
             rest_words=string_to_word[9:]
             len_rest_word=len(rest_words)
             if len_rest_word>9:
                      remaining_words=rest_words[9:]


Here's an issue that has not, I think, been addressed in this thread. The OP's problem is:

1. Start with an indefinitely long string.

2. Convert the string to a list, splitting on whitespace.

3. Repeatedly return subslices of the list, until the list is exhausted.

This thread has presented one-chunk-at-a-time (e.g. generator/itertools) approaches to Step #3, but what about Step #2? I've looked in the Python documentation, and I've done some Googling, but I haven't found a generator version of the string function split(). Am I missing something?

Tx,
John
