morse.py

please help me, not sure where am I making the mistake

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, strng):
        lis = []
        for item in strng.split('-'):
            if item == 'dash':
                lis.append('_')
            elif item == 'dot':
                lis.append('.')
        return lis       


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

You're really close there. The instructions say the function takes a string "and creates an instance with the correct pattern".

You're creating the correct pattern, but instead of returning it directly, you need to return a new instance of the class with that pattern in it.
