replace special chars to space and create list

using Python, I'm trying to replace the special chars in the following text: 

"The# dog.is.yelling$at!Me to"

to spaces so that afterwards I would get the list: 

['The','dog','is','yelling','at','me']

How do I do that in one line?

You can use regular expressions:

>>> import re
>>> re.split("[#$!.\s]+", "The# dog.is.yelling$at!Me to" )
['The', 'dog', 'is', 'yelling', 'at', 'Me', 'to']

Or to split by any non alpha-numeric sequence of chars, as pointed @thg435:

>>> re.split("\W+", "The# dog.is.yelling$at!Me to" )
