How to split a string by character sets that are different in python

I want to split an string I have by characters that are different that the others into a list. for example, if I have string ccaaawq, I want my program to give me ['cc', 'aaa', 'w', 'q']. Since there is no single differentiator between each split, I’m wondering what is the best approach to solving this problem.
thanks in advance for your answers

>Solution :

You can use itertools.groupby:

from itertools import groupby

s = "ccaaawq"

out = ["".join(g) for _, g in groupby(s)]
print(out)

Prints:

['cc', 'aaa', 'w', 'q']
