Python Web Development Techdegree Student 2,150 PointsNames.py is failing but I am getting back the first name and last name as requested.
Please point out where my code is incorrect. The challenge is saying that it is not getting back the correct group info but I can not understand what is wrong.
import re
string = 'Perotto, Pier Giorgio'
names = re.match(r'(?P<lname>[\w]+),(?P<fname>\s[\w]+\s[\w]+)',string,re.I)
names.group('lname', 'fname')

I get:
('Perotto', ' Pier Giorgio')
There's a space in front of "Pier". I think that's why you're getting the error. Try to remove the space and I think you'll pass the challenge. Good luck!
