I think what I want to do is a fairly common task but I\'ve found no reference on the web. I have text with punctuation, and I want a list of the words.

got same problem as @ooboo and find this topic @ghostdog74 inspired me, maybe someone finds my solution usefull
str1='adj:sg:nom:m1.m2.m3:pos'
splitat=':.'
''.join([ s if s not in splitat else ' ' for s in str1]).split()
input something in space place and split using same character if you dont want to split at spaces.
