Try again! on task 1 of finding players by regular expression

for the question "Create a variable named players that is an re.search() or re.match() to capture three groups: last_name, first_name, and score. It should include re.MULTILINE." I wrote the following code. but I just get the answer of "Try again!" I don't know what is my code problem! here it is my code:

players = re.search(r''' (?P<last_name> [\w ]),\s (?P<first_name> [\w ]):\s (?P<score> [\d]*) ''', pattern, re.M)

Just guessing here...

Without a link to the challenge I'm just guessing, but perhaps the spaces between the field names and character classes are causing a problem, and perhaps the spaces following the "\s" codes also.
