Looks good to me. :-)

So a generator versions would be...

(not tested)

def getgroups(seq):
      iseq = iter(xrange(len(seq)))
      for start in iseq:
          if seq[start] & 0x80:
              for stop in iseq:
                  if seq[stop] & 0x80:
                      yield seq[start:stop]
                      start = stop
              yield seq[start:]

(I also wanted to compare this to Georges solution, maybe later.)

Now if there is some way to generalize this so it can be used in a broader 
range of situations without loosing too much of it's efficiency.  Of course 
then maybe group by would be better.  <shrug>
