I think I'm very close

I think I'm very close with this code, but it still seems like it's not right.

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)

    @classmethod
        def from_string(cls, str):
            split_str = str.split('-')
            list = []
            for x in split_str:
                    if x == 'dash':
                        list.append('_')
                    elif x == 'dot':
                        list.append('.')
                return cls(list)

class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
         pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
         super().__init__(pattern)

You are very close indeed!
Your only issue is with indentation, just fix your alignment and you'll pass the challenge. :+1:

Just be sure to use consistent indentation amounts for each level, and not to mix spaces and tabs. And the "def" line should be in the same column as the "@classmethod" decorator.

Have fixed it, and now it says "Didn't get the right pattern". Tried to post my code, but it got messed up. Please write your version of it.

I saw it, and without Markdown formatting it's hard to be certain; but it looked like the "return" line might still be indented one level too far.

For future postings, here is a video on code formatting.
