You can use Regex (Regular Expressions) to find such words, here is a short example:

import re

test1 = "31teste123 regex==="
test2 = "++++//jamanta+++de+++//pedra++++"

def formatString(string):
    formatedArray = re.findall('[a-zA-Z]+', string)
    print(" ".join(formatedArray))

formatString(test1)
formatString(test2)

The output would be an array containing the words:

test1 = ['test', 'regex']

test2 = ['manta', 'de', 'stone']
