Baffling. Here's a shorter and less readable illustration:
>>> list(groupby("aabbb"))
[('a', <itertools._grouper object at 0xb7018c0c>),
('b', <itertools._grouper object at 0xb7018a0c>)]
>>> list(groupby("aabbb"))[0]
('a', <itertools._grouper object at 0xb71d3e4c>)
>>> list(list(groupby("aabbb"))[0][1])
[]
