Split the sentence on space. Check if each word is a number. If it is, convert to a number and add to total:

n = input('Enter an Alpha-Numeric String: ')
n_sum = 0
for word in n.split():
    try:
        n_sum += float(word)
    except ValueError:
        # float() will throw an exception if not a number
        pass
print(n_sum)
