Or for a slightly less simple minded splitting you could try re.split:

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the above regex does the exact same
thing as line.split() except it is significantly slower and harder to
read.

Note the difference in "jumps" vs. "jumps," (extra comma in the
string.split() version) and likewise the period after "over". Thus not
quite "the exact same thing as line.split()".
Um... yes. I'll just slink away quietly now... nothing to see here...
You could've used str.translate to strip out the unwanted characters.
