Without regular expressions:

def group(string):
    result = list()
    for item in string.split(','):
        if '/' in item:
            result.extend(item.split('/'))
            yield tuple(result)
            result = list()
        else:
            result.append(item)

def main():
    string = '12560/ABC,12567/BC,123,567,890/JK'
    print list(group(string))
