Convert a list of words to list of numbers that were previously assigned in Python(2.7.1)

I have a code "aaabbbcccdddeee" that I split up into 3 letter words (such as 'aaa','bbb','ccc' . . . and so on) and assigned a number value to them using 

d=dict(zip(('aaa','bbb','ccc','ddd','eee'),('123','234','345','456','567')))

If random sequence that has 

random='aaabbbdddccceeedddbbbaaaeeeccc'

How can I create a list that converts the random sequence into a list composed of the number values that were assigned previously

Example: 

random='aaabbbdddccceeedddbbbaaaeeeccc'

to produce

'123','234','456','345','567','456','234','123','567','345'

mapping = <your dictionary>
instr = <your data>
result = [mapping[instr[i:i+3] ] for i in range(0, len(instr), 3)   ]
