My code gives me the error message above. I have no idea where the error is or what it is about.
import re
string = 'Perotto, Pier Giorgio'
names = re.match(r'''
([-\w ]*),\s
([-\w ]+)
''', string, re.M)

Treehouse Guest TeacherIf you use multiple lines in your regex, you'll want to use the re.VERBOSE
flag, too, otherwise the regular expression matcher will try to match the newlines and tabs/spaces in your pattern.
Also, it's giving you that attribute because no groups were matched.
