Splitting a line shapefile into segments of equal length in python

[fahadjahangir]

I want to split a line shapefile into segments of equal length, let say into length of x meters each.  Is there a way to do that in python without using QGIS?

You can import shapefiles using Fiona and do all sorts of modifications with Shapely. For more information, look here:

I see this answer didn't worked for you

Then try spacing the points at specified distance and then split the line
