I checked the code in a separate console and found that after this code the respective fields of the class are initialized from the players' respective fields. Where did I go wrong? Why does the challenge say, that the init got an unexpected first_name or srore parameter. Thanks.
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<last_name>[\w]+?\s?[\w]+),\s
(?P<first_name>[\w]+?\s?[\w]+):\s
(?P<score>[\d]+)\t?
''', string, re.M | re.X)
class Player:
def __init__(self, players):
self.last_name = players.group('last_name')
self.first_name = players.group('first_name')
self.score = players.group('score')

I can see i made an error in my code, the attributes names should be last_name and first_name like this:
class Player:
def __init__(self, last_name="", first_name="", score=0):
self.last_name = last_name
self.first_name = first_name
self.score = score
I have tested this one in the code challenge and it works

17,612 PointsYour player class is wrong it should take an unpacked dir
class Player:
def __init__(self, lastname="", firstname="", score=0):
self.last_name = lastname
self.first_name = firstname
self.score = score
