Can't work out what's wrong with my code? (Output formatting issue?)

I've managed to get this to work in Workspaces by tweaking with print/return, but I can't work out how to get it to work in the Challenge itself. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

morse.py 
class Letter:
     def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __str__(self):
        morse=""
        y=0
        for x in self.pattern:
            if x=='.':morse+='dot'
            if x=='_':morse+='dash'            

            if y<len(self.pattern)-1:morse+='-'
            y+=1  

        return morse



class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
        pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
        super().__init__(pattern)

Hi Melita,

Your code is correct, but it seems you have a slight indentation issue. If you look at your __init__ definition in the Letter class, the "def" keyword is indented by one extra space. If you fix that it should pass.
