chunking a long string?

[wxjmfauth at gmail.com]

"(say, 1 kbyte each)": one "kilo" of characters or bytes?

Glad to read some users are still living in an ascii world,
at the "Unicode time" where an encoded code point size may vary
between 1-4 bytes.


Oops, sorry, I'm wrong, it can be much more.

>>> sys.getsizeof('ab')

>>> sys.getsizeof('a\U0001d11e')
48
