You will need to separate each letter. with another character. So TED would be, "- . -.." then use split to split each letter or sting of -'s and .'s. Then replace each letter. To do back to back words you will need to split the it into a 2d list. ie sentence "AC BA CA"-> [['.-','-.-.'],['-...','.-'],['-.-.','.-']] then you would use this method but for each item in the outer cell add a space to the string.

def cnvtletter(code):
    if(code==".-"):
        return 'A'
    if(code=="-..."):
        return 'B'
    if(code=="-.-."):
        return 'C'

word= '.-|-.-.|-...'
delimiter='|'
letters=word.split(delimiter)
out=''
for letter in letters:
    out+=cnvtletter(letter)
print out
