chunk_split in python

Question

I'm trying to find a pythonic way to do this PHP code:

chunk_split(base64_encode($picture));

http://us2.php.net/chunk_split

chunk_split split the string into smaller chunks of 76 character long by adding a "\r\n" (RFC 2045).

thank you

Answer 1

chunk_split = lambda s: '\r\n'.join(s[i:min(i+76, len(s))] for i in xrange(0, len(s), 76))

Answer 2

This should do it:

str.encode("base64").replace("\n", "\r\n")
