Here's a function that can do what you're wanting to accomplish:
Byron
---
def removeNums(addr):
text = addr.split()
revisedAddr = ""
for item in text:
try:
i = int(item)
except:
revisedAddr += item + " "
return revisedAddr.strip()
# Test the function... ;-)
address = "5291 E. 24rd Ave."
print removeNums(address)
