Create Players Class regular expressions?

Can someone explain further what is needed on this exercise?

I have the below, but I don't think it is correct. I assume you will need to use the players variable in the Class somewhere but can't think where as it will depend on which Player you want to create on init?

import re

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

players = re.match(r'(?P<last_name>\w+? ?\w+), (?P<first_name>\w+? ?\w+): (?P<score>\d{2})', string, re.M)

class Player(last_name, first_name, score):
  def __init__(self):
    self.last_name = last_name
    self.first_name = first_name
    self.score = score

You are almost correct, but you need have the arguments in __init__(), not following the class:

class Player:
  def __init__(self, last_name, first_name, score):
    self.last_name = last_name
    self.first_name = first_name
    self.score = score

In python, parentheses following the class name gives the base class.
