I've been fighting with this for a little while now and I'm not sure what else to do. I asked before but was given less than helpful instruction.
import re
string = 'Perotto, Pier Giorgio'
names = re.match(r'''
^(?P<last_name>[\w ]* \s,),
(?P<first_name>[\w\s\w]*)$
''', string)

Treehouse ModeratorHey Jake Williams, I remember this one being SUPER tricky.
Basically it just wants the regex for the last name ([\w\s]+)
and the first name ([\w\s]+)
separated by a comma and a space. Which would look something like this:
names = re.match(r'([\w\s]+), ([\w\s]+)', string)
Hope this is helpful!
