>From your description, are we to assume that you only want two rows of
output? Is the "similarity" referring to the number of words or the number
of characters? Since the former is easier, would this answer your problem:


>>> w = "this is an example".split()
>>> wl = len(w) // 2
>>> l1 = w[:wl]
>>> l2 = w[wl:]
>>> print "%s\n%s" % (" ".join(l1), " ".join(l2))
this is
an example
>>>

I suspect there will be more that you haven't yet told us, however: the
specification was not rigorous.
