Or for a slightly less simple minded splitting you could try re.split:
>>> re.split("(\w+)", "The quick brown fox jumps, and falls
over.")[1::2]
['The', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox', 'jumps', 'and', 'falls', 'over']
Using this code how would it load each word into a temporary variable.
Why on earth would you want to? Just index through the list.
