Adopted from here https://docs.python.org/3.0/library/itertools.html

data = [51, 53, 55, 67, 68, 91, 92, 93, 94, 99]
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda t:t[0]-t[1]):
     group = list(map(operator.itemgetter(1), g))
     if len(group) > 1:
         print(group)

 >>>
[67, 68]
[91, 92, 93, 94]
 >>>
