I'm using the same code a Kenneth's, but the challenge keeps telling me that it "Didn't get a regex search object". What's happening?
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\d.+]+@[-\w\d.+]+),\t
(?P<phone>\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4})$
''', string, re.X)

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 12,493 PointsYou're searching for \d in the email, and the emails in the string have non. Also when you use \d+ it search for 1 or more numbers. So in your case you either have to use \d* which searches for 0 or more or just get rid of the \d from the search in the email. And to pass this challenge you don't need the beginning and end of the string ^ $.

(?P<email>[-\w.+]+@[\w.-]+),\s
But it works in a simple fashion surprisingly.
