Dear Dinesh,
if you're using the regular expression only once, I would recommend:
without_numbers = " ".join(re.split(" [0-9]+ ", phrase))
If not, compile the regular expression first and use the compiled version.
Regards,
Benoit Thiell.

I want to remove whole numbers from text but retain numbers
attached to words.
Is this a homework?
If so we can only offer suggestions to direction but not give solutions.
What is the best to do this using re?
Yes, use re to define a pattern then use sub() to replace with
an empty string
If you're having trouble with writing regular expressions, you can either use
http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach/ (Regex-coach) or Emacs re-builder mode for
some interactive training.
