Hi,
if I am not missing something, the latter form of grouping might be
achieved with the following regex:

t="ABCABCABCDEABCDEFABCABCABCB"
grouped = re.findall(r"((?:(\w+?)\2+)|\w+?)", t)
print(grouped)
for grp, subseq in grouped:
    if subseq:
        print(subseq, grp.count(subseq))
    else:
        print(grp, "1")


the printed output is:

[('ABCABCABC', 'ABC'), ('D', ''), ('E', ''), ('A', ''), ('B', ''),
('C', ''), ('D', ''), ('E', ''), ('F', ''), ('ABCABCABC', 'ABC'),
('B', '')]
ABC 3
D 1
E 1
A 1
B 1
C 1
D 1
E 1
F 1
ABC 3
B 1

The former one seems to be more tricky...

hth,
