Well, first off, this isn't an object so we don't need to be passing self. That's why you're missing an argument.

Secondly, you need to return, not print, the result.

Finally, you're using the wrong re method.

Not to be rude, but have you taken the beginner python courses? There are a lot of basics things that you are getting wrong here and its always good to refresh.
