How can I make a regular expression that will match every occurrence

for a string "-c-c-c-c-c", how can I make a regex which will return a
group match for each occurrence of "-c"?
As well as what Diez has said, unless you absolutely want regexp's,
and by the sounds of it I'm guessing you may be after something more
flexible: what about the pyparsing module [1]. It handles your
situation quite nicely.
import pyparsing
parser = pyparsing.ZeroOrMore('-c')
parser.parseString('-c-c-c-c-c-c')
(['-c', '-c', '-c', '-c', '-c', '-c'], {})
Not that I like regexes very much, but findall does exactly that:
py> re.findall('-c', '-c-c-c-c-c-c')
['-c', '-c', '-c', '-c', '-c', '-c']
Now, the OP said "return each occurrence as a group match":
py> for g in re.finditer("-c", '-c-c-c-c-c-c'): print g, g.span(),
g.group()
...
