I can't seem to complete Challenge Task 2 of 2

Hi,

I can't seem to pass the Challenge Task 2 of 2 even though the results seem ok. I've tried adding the ^ before (?P<email , but it breaks my results. Any help would be appreciated

import re

string = '''Love, Kenneth, kenneth+challenge@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5555, @kennethlove
Chalkley, Andrew, andrew@teamtreehouse.co.uk, 555-555-5556, @chalkers
McFarland, Dave, dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5557, @davemcfarland
Kesten, Joy, joy@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5558, @joykesten'''

contacts = re.search(r'''
    (?P<email>[-\w.+]+@[-\w.]+),\s
    (?P<phone>\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}),\s
    (?P<twitters>@[-\w\d]+)$
    ''', string, re.X|re.M)

print(contacts.groupdict())
