Okay, much better.

Given that constraint, it looks like regular expression can do the job. I'm
not very experienced with regex, though.

\w* matches a whole word composed of letters and numbers by default.

>>> result = re.search('for \w*', 'Give me the weather for London please.')
>>> result.group()
'for London'
>>> result.group().split()[1]
'London'

Cheers,
Xav
