Create sum clusters of a number sequence

[Pedroski55]

Thinking some more about this, I came up with the ideas below, but I don't know if that is similar to what you are looking for??

Maybe this will give you some ideas on an approach. I was intrigued!

import re
import random

# make a random numlist
# numlist = [random.randint(1, 8) for i in range(151)]
numlist = [random.randint(1, 4) for i in range(51)]
total = sum(numlist)
print(f"The sum of the numbers is {total}")
if total % 8 == 0:
    print(f"We can make maximum {sum(numlist)/8} groups with a sum total of 8 from the numbers.")
else:
    print(f"We can make maximum {int(sum(numlist)/8)} groups with a sum total of 8 and 1 smaller group from the numbers.")

def count8(alist):
    num = 0
    for i in range(len(alist)-1):
        num = num + alist[i]
        print('sum =', num)
        if num + alist[i+1] > 8:
            return (i, num, alist[0:i+1])

groups = []
while sum(numlist) > 8:
    group = count8(numlist)
    print('group:', group)
    groups.append(group[2])
    numlist = numlist[group[0]+1:]

for g in groups:
    print(g)

But I am still not sure if that is what you are looking for??
