I'm doing a regex challenge in Python that's asking me to do a re.match() for the string below. Since there is only one, I made a simple group match that should match the letters of his last and first name, but I'm getting an error that says "Didn't get enough groups". I'm a little confused...
import re
string = 'Perotto, Pier Giorgio'
names = re.match(r'([\w ]+,\s[\w ]+)', string)

Hint: The separator characters should not be part of either group.
