if there are space between words and numbers, and assuming each number
is folllowed by a word.. you can use string.split()

import string
mystring = "1. that 2. cat 3. rat 4. etc"
number=[]
tokens= string.split(mystring)

for i in (range(0, len(tokens), 2)):
    number.append(int(tokens[i][:-1]))     # the slicing removes the
dot.
