Players dictionary and class challenge task 2 of 2 instructions? What are requested parameters for function __init__?

I can't guess what exactly is requested? Task request: Wow! OK, now, create a class named Player that has those same three attributes, last_name, first_name, and score. I should be able to set them through init.

players.py 
import re

string = '''Love, Kenneth: 20
Chalkley, Andrew: 25
McFarland, Dave: 10
Kesten, Joy: 22
Stewart Pinchback, Pinckney Benton: 18'''
players=re.search(r'(?P<first_name>\w+ *\w*), (?P<last_name>\w+ *\w*): (?P<score>\d+)',string,re.M)
class Player: 
    pat=re.compile(r'(?P<first_name>\w+ *\w*), (?P<last_name>\w+ *\w*): (?P<score>\d+)',re.M)

Task 2 has nothing to do with regular expressions. You're merely creating a Player class object.

import re

string = '''Love, Kenneth: 20
Chalkley, Andrew: 25
McFarland, Dave: 10
Kesten, Joy: 22
Stewart Pinchback, Pinckney Benton: 18'''

players = re.search(
    r'(?P<first_name>\w+ *\w*), (?P<last_name>\w+ *\w*): (?P<score>\d+)',
    string, re.M)

class Player: 
    def __init__(self, first_name, last_name, score):
        self.first_name = first_name
        self.last_name = last_name
        self.score = score
