Great! Now, make a new variable, twitters that is an re.search() where the pattern catches the Twitter handle for a person. Remember to mark it as being at the end of the string. You'll also want to use the re.MULTILINE flag.

emails.py 
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.]*), (?P<phone>\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4})', string)
twitters = re.search(r'\s(@[\w]+)', string)
