I want to remove whole numbers from text but retain numbers attached to
words. All whole numbers to be removed have a leading and trailing space.
For example, in "the cow jumped-20 feet high30er than the lazy 20 timing
fox who couldn't keep up the 865 meter race." remove the whole numbers
20 and 865 but keep the 20 in jumped-20 and the 30 in high30er.
What is the best to do this using re?

>>> text = "the cow jumped-20 feet high30er than the lazy 20 timing fox
who couldn't keep up the 865 meter race."
>>> ' '.join(i for i in text.split() if not i.isdigit())
"the cow jumped-20 feet high30er than the lazy timing fox who couldn't
keep up the meter race."
