My code works fine in my console. But I could not get through the challenge. Please help
import re
class Player:
def __init__(self):
self.last_name = players.group('last_name')
self.first_name = players.group('first_name')
self.score = players.group('score')
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
(?P<first_name>[\w ]+):\s
(?P<score>[\d]+)$

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

import re
class Player:
def __init__(self, last_name, first_name, score):
self.last_name = last_name
self.first_name = first_name
self.score = score
string = '''Love, Kenneth: 20
Chalkley, Andrew: 25
McFarland, Dave: 10
Kesten, Joy: 22
Stewart Pinchback, Pinckney Benton: 18'''
line = re.compile(r"""
^(?P<last_name>[-\w ]*),\s
(?P<first_name>[-\w ]*):\s
(?P<score>[\d]*)$
""", re.X|re.M)
players = line.search(string)
