Split a python list into other “sublists” i.e smaller lists [duplicate]

I have a python list which runs into 1000’s. Something like:

data=["I","am","a","python","programmer".....]

where, len(data)= say 1003

I would now like to create a subset of this list (data) by splitting the orginal list into chunks of 100. So, at the end, Id like to have something like:

data_chunk1=[.....] #first 100 items of list data
data_chunk2=[.....] #second 100 items of list data
.
.
.
data_chunk11=[.....] # remainder of the entries,& its len <=100, len(data_chunk_11)=3

Is there a pythonic way to achieve this task? Obviously I can use data[0:100] and so on, but I am assuming that is terribly non-pythonic and very inefficient.

Many thanks.
