Splitting a message up into two

Feb 25th, 2009

I am trying to spilt a message in two, if the number of characters is greater that 600, so that each message has no more than 600 characters.

How can i do this

print len(Message)
Message = "sdkfhdslkfhdskfhsdlfjsdlk"
print len(Message)

pieces = []
while len(message) > 600:
    pieces.append(message[:600]) # slice from the start up to (but not including) the 600th character.
    message= message[600:] #slice from the 600th character to the end.
pieces.append(message)
pieces = []
while len(message) > 600:
    pieces.append(message[:600]) # slice from the start up to (but not including) the 600th character.
    message= message[600:] #slice from the 600th character to the end.
pieces.append(message)
