Why?  You just want word characters?  Then you can do:

     \b\w+\b

And you should get the next word.  Anyway, if the commas and brackets 
are in a lookahead or lookbehind they won't be matched.  So they won't 
be "highlighted" by the find function either.  And if you have many 
things you *don't* want matched you can always make a negative 
lookahead/behind.  I'm really not sure what the problem is.

I suggest you find a tutorial or help document about regular 
expressions.  It should help explain the possibilities.  One that I 
liked was the “Python Regular Expression Howto” (google it).  They are 
very powerful, and you should be able to do what you want with them.
