Question Wow! OK, now, create a class named Player that has those same three attributes, last_name, first_name, and score. I should be able to set them through init.
Below is the code that I am trying to pass in and I keep getting the error: Bummer! init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'first_name'
Not sure what I am doing wrong here :(
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)
class Player:
def __init__(self):
self.last_name = players.group(0)
self.first_name = players.group(1)
self.score = players.group(2)

As Kenneth's test "should be able to set them through init" the test will try and instantiate the Player class by including parameter names such as first_name and last_name.
Your init function should expect parameters. e.g.
def __init__(self, foo, bar):
self.foo = foo
self.bar = bar
etc...
(deliberately generic as you may not want the specific answer to the quiz)
As your init doesn't pass any parameters other than self the test checker will fail. It looks like Kenneth is passing as keyword parameters so you may need to be precise.
