morse.py challenge code doesn't work

I tried the attached code in my IDE and it works.

However the output here in the code challenge's IDE does not allow me to pass.

Appreciate it if anyone can point me to my mistake.

Thanks

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)

    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls, string):
        new_list = []
        string_list = string.split('-')
        for i in string_list:
            if i.lower() == 'dash':
                new_list.append('_')
            elif i.lower() == 'dot':
                new_list.append('.')
            else:
                pass
        return cls(new_list)


class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
         pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
         super().__init__(pattern)

Hi there, Maximillian! From what I can tell, you haven't made an error. Your code, as is, when copied and pasted into the challenge works for me and passes with flying colors. This makes me suspicious about a possible caching problem. Try copy/pasting your code from here then clearing your browser cache. It could also be something cached on the server side in which case you might have to log out and back in again.

But your code works! Good job! Hope this helps :sparkles:

Jennifer Nordell, you're right it must be a caching error. What I did was erase the code from the challenge, pasted my own code from my editor, and clicked the "check work" button. It passed!
