Python: How do I separate characters and numbers in a string

Question

I would like to know how do I separate characters and numbers in a string and return it as an array

Eg:

"abc123" -> ["abc","123"]

"1a2bc2" -> ['1','a','2','bc','2']

"1bdc3" -> ['1','bdc','3']

Thank you for taking your time and answer me

import itertools

def separate(string):
    return ["".join(group) for key, group in itertools.groupby(string, str.isdigit)]

print(separate("abc123"))
print(separate("1a2bc2"))
print(separate("1bdc3"))
