def get_words(s):
    l = []
    w = ''
    for c in s.lower():
        if c in '-!?,. ':
            if w != '': 
                l.append(w)
            w = ''
        else:
            w = w + c
    if w != '': 
        l.append(w)
    return l

用法如下：

>>> s = "Hey, you - what are you doing here!?"
>>> print get_words(s)
['hey', 'you', 'what', 'are', 'you', 'doing', 'here']

实现这一点的另一种方法是使用自然语言工具包（nltk）。

import nltk
data= "Hey, you - what are you doing here!?"
word_tokens = nltk.tokenize.regexp_tokenize(data, r'\w+')
print word_tokens

这张照片显示：[“嘿”、“你”、“什么”、“是”、“您”、“正在做”、“在这里”]

这种方法的最大缺点是需要安装nltk包。

好处是，一旦获得令牌，就可以使用nltk包的其余部分做很多有趣的事情。

试试看：

import re

phrase = "Hey, you - what are you doing here!?"
matches = re.findall('\w+', phrase)
print matches

这将打印['Hey'，'you'，'what'，'are'，'you'，'doing'，'here']

使用maketrans和translate，您可以轻松、整洁地完成

import string
specials = ',.!?:;"()<>[]#$=-/'
trans = string.maketrans(specials, ' '*len(specials))
body = body.translate(trans)
words = body.strip().split()

如果需要可逆操作（保留分隔符），可以使用此函数：

def tokenizeSentence_Reversible(sentence):
    setOfDelimiters = ['.', ' ', ',', '*', ';', '!']
    listOfTokens = [sentence]

    for delimiter in setOfDelimiters:
        newListOfTokens = []
        for ind, token in enumerate(listOfTokens):
            ll = [([delimiter, w] if ind > 0 else [w]) for ind, w in enumerate(token.split(delimiter))]
            listOfTokens = [item for sublist in ll for item in sublist] # flattens.
            listOfTokens = filter(None, listOfTokens) # Removes empty tokens: ''
            newListOfTokens.extend(listOfTokens)

        listOfTokens = newListOfTokens

    return listOfTokens

这是一个有一些解释的答案。

st = "Hey, you - what are you doing here!?"

# replace all the non alpha-numeric with space and then join.
new_string = ''.join([x.replace(x, ' ') if not x.isalnum() else x for x in st])
# output of new_string
'Hey  you  what are you doing here  '

# str.split() will remove all the empty string if separator is not provided
new_list = new_string.split()

# output of new_list
['Hey', 'you', 'what', 'are', 'you', 'doing', 'here']

# we can join it to get a complete string without any non alpha-numeric character
' '.join(new_list)
# output
'Hey you what are you doing'

或者在一行中，我们可以这样做：

(''.join([x.replace(x, ' ') if not x.isalnum() else x for x in st])).split()

# output
['Hey', 'you', 'what', 'are', 'you', 'doing', 'here']
