Is 0 allowed to be in the input list? What would happen if it were?

This line doesn't do anything.  It looks up the builtin function named
next and then does nothing with it.  I suspect you meant to use the
keyword 'continue' here.

        if not tmp:
            tmp.append(prev)

Also, give tmp a more meaningful name. Call it "current_block" or
something descriptive like that.
