How to split a String from Text Input into 40 char chunks?

[lastyle]

max 40 char packets which will be padded by spaces to have a readable resulting text.

It seems that you want the built-in textwrap module.

>>> import textwrap
>>> s = "The String is from a User Input and can be longer (between 1 and 290 Chars), but i Need to Split the String into max 40 char packets which will be padded by spaces to have a readable resulting text."
>>> print(textwrap.fill(s, width=40))
The String is from a User Input and can
be longer (between 1 and 290 Chars), but
i Need to Split the String into max 40
char packets which will be padded by
spaces to have a readable resulting
text.
