split a generator/iterable every n items in python (splitEvery)

by 
from itertools import islice

def split_every(n, iterable):
    i = iter(iterable)
    piece = list(islice(i, n))
    while piece:
        yield piece
        piece = list(islice(i, n))

Some tests:

>>> list(split_every(5, range(9)))
[[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8]]

>>> list(split_every(3, (x**2 for x in range(20))))
[[0, 1, 4], [9, 16, 25], [36, 49, 64], [81, 100, 121], [144, 169, 196], [225, 256, 289], [324, 361]]

>>> [''.join(s) for s in split_every(6, 'Hello world')]
['Hello ', 'world']

>>> list(split_every(100, []))
[]
