Replace With Alphabet Position

In this kata you are required to, given a string, replace every letter with its position in the alphabet.

If anything in the text isn't a letter, ignore it and don't return it.

"a" = 1, "b" = 2, etc.

Example

alphabet_position("The sunset sets at twelve o' clock.")

Should return "20 8 5 19 21 14 19 5 20 19 5 20 19 1 20 20 23 5 12 22 5 15 3 12 15 3 11" (as a string)

def alphabet_position(text):
    pass

def alphabet_position(text):
    alp = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    return " ".join([str(alp.find(c) + 1) for c in text.lower() if c in alp])
