Replacing word numbers with digits in a string

[psychemedia]

word2number seems to be able to pull numbers from words out of a more general string:

w2n.word_to_num("I count it at two million three thousand nine hundred and eighty four or thereabouts")

#returns: 2003984

but is there also a way of plugging that back in to the original string?

For example, if I wanted something like:

w2n.word_to_num("I count it at two million three thousand nine hundred and eighty four or thereabouts", replace=True)

#returns: "I count it at 2003984 or thereabouts"

Not as of now. You will have to process that with additional code at your end.
