Bummer: Try again... Solution works outside of Treehouse interpreter

This solution works outside of the Treehouse online interpreter. Clearly, I am missing something to satisfy the exercise, because of the "Bummer: Try again" error thrown. If the code works, why is it considered unsatisfactory?

players.py 
import re

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

players = re.compile(r'(?P<last_name>[\w ]+),\s(?P<first_name>[\w ]+):\s(?P<score>[\d]+)', re.M)

class Player:
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

for player in players.finditer(string):
    player = Player(**player.groupdict())
