List Splitting

[Brendon Towle]

Not the most elegant solution, perhaps, but:

 >>>t = [ "a", "b", "c", "n", "a", "a", "t", "t", "t" ]
 >>>outlist = []
 >>>for x in range(3):
...    temp=[]
...    for y in range(len(t)/3):
...        temp.append(t[3*y+x])
...    outlist.append(temp)

 >>>outlist
[['a', 'n', 't'], ['b', 'a', 't'], ['c', 'a', 't']]
