You may want to read the page describing the regex syntax a little
closer. http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html

\W would match anything but \w. That is, it would match spaces and
tabs as well as the weird characters. I don't think that's what you
want.

Also, don't forget to use raw strings. r"\W+" is preferred over "\W+".
