Suppose you have a sequence s , a string for say, for instance this one :
spppammmmegggssss
We want to split s into the following parts :
['s', 'ppp', 'a', 'mmmm', 'e', 'ggg', 'ssss']
ie each part is a single repeated character word.
What is the pythonic way to answer this question?
A naive solution would be the following :
# -------------------------------
z='spppammmmegggssss'
zz=[]
while z:
k=1
while z[:k]==k*z[0]:
k+=1
zz+=[z[:k-1]]
z=z[k-1:]
print zz
# -------------------------------
but I guess this code is not very idiomatic :(
