Bummer! `players` doesn't seem to be a regex object.

The title is the error message I get> what am I doing wrong?

players.py 
import re

string = '''Love, Kenneth: 20
Chalkley, Andrew: 25
McFarland, Dave: 10
Kesten, Joy: 22
Stewart Pinchback, Pinckney Benton: 18'''

players = re.search(r''' 
    ^(P?<last_name>[\w\s]*),\s
    (P?<first_name>[\w\s]*):\s
    (P?<score>\d+)$
''', string, re.M|re.X)
