Got: <morse.S object at 0x7f573c41e0f0> for `S()`

Can someone tell me where the problem is?

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern  
    def __str(self):
        ThePattern=[]
        for n in self.pattern:
            if n == '.':
                ThePattern.append('dot')
            elif n == '_':
                ThePattern.append('dash')
            else:
                ThePattern.append('')
        return '-'.join(ThePattern)  

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

Just one little issue. The method name here is "__str", but it should be "__str__" (two underscores on each side).

One other very minor point (it won't affect passing the challenge): the pattern should never contain anything but periods and underscores, so the final "else" isn't needed.

That was it! I guess I just needed a second set of eyes.
