You can do it on one line, but it looks really messy:

output = ''.join([{x:input[x]for x in range(len(input))}[x]for x in range
(len({x:input[x]for x in range(len(input))}))if(x==0 or {x:input[x]for x 
in range(len(input))}[x-1]!={x:input[x]for x in range(len(input))}[x])])

It looks much better if you do it in steps:

a = {x:input[x]for x in range(len(input))}
b = [a[n]for n in range(len(a))if(n==0 or a[n-1]!=a[n])])
output = ''.join(b)

If you really want to do it using just 'string' ops:

for i in range(len(input)):
    if (i==0):
        output=input[0]
    elif input[i]!=input[i-1]:
        output+=input[i]
