Why am I getting NoneType on my re.search() ?

I wrote this code on my local text editor and it ran fine. Not sure why now I'm getting errors.

You forgot to show the code. Do that, and I'll bet we can explain it.

Remember that the challenge isn't just about creating code that runs. It must also serve a specific purpose. When you work externally you may not be testing for purpose with the same stringency that the challenge does.
