title: How to match alphabetical chars without numeric chars with Python regexp?
body: <p>Using Python module re, how to get the equivalent of the "\w" (which matches alphanumeric chars) WITHOUT matching the numeric characters (those which can be matched by "[0-9]")?</p>
  
  <p>Notice that the basic need is to match any character (including all unicode variation) without numerical chars (which are matched by "[0-9]").</p>
  
  <p>As a final note, I really need a regexp as it is part of a greater regexp.</p>
  
  <p>Underscores should not be matched.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I hadn't thought about underscores state, so thanks for warnings about this being matched by "\w" and for the elected solution that addresses this issue.</li>
  </ul>
