What is the most "pythonic" way to iterate over a list in chunks?

<p>I have a Python script which takes as input a list of integers, which I need to work with four integers at a time. Unfortunately, I don't have control of the input, or I'd have it passed in as a list of four-element tuples. Currently, I'm iterating over it this way:</p> <pre><code>for i in xrange(0, len(ints), 4)...

<p>os.startfile(path, 'open') under windows is good because when spaces exist in the directory, os.system('start', path_name) can't open the app correct and when the i18n exist in the directory, os.system needs to change the unicode to the codec of the console in Windows.</p>
