Hallo Jens,
In current python re module, you have to do something like:
((?!\d|_\w)+ which uses the negative look ahead to grab all words except
integers and underscore. Of course, if you turn on the unicode flag re.U
or use it inline like, (?u) then this will grab your desired umlauts.
I'd actually recommend, however, that if you have an extra 20 minutes,
to use Regexp 2.7:

Its a much needed improvement over F.Lundh's re implementation (from
1999!) and its 40% faster. Moreover, you can do exactly what you are
requesting like so,
(?u)[[:alpha:]]+
The latest release is here:
