Hello, I believe you are overthinking about what this question is asking for; the solution to this problem is actually very very simple

players = re.search(r'''
      ^(?P<last_name>[\w ]*),\s(?P<first_name>[\w ]*):\s
       (?P<score>[\d]*)$
''', string, re.MULTILINE|re.X)


class Player:

    def __init__(self, last_name, first_name, score):
        self.last_name = last_name
        self.first_name = first_name
        self.score = score

That's all.
