custom data objects

Here’s your code (except for the santize() function, which doesn’t
need to change). With your pencil, write code to define the Athlete
class. In addition to the __init__() method, define a new method
called top3() that, when invoked, returns the top three times.
Be sure to adjust the get_coach_data() function to return an
Athlete object as opposed to a dictionary, and don’t forget to amend
your print() statements, too.
Write your Athlete
class code here.

def get_coach_data(filename):
try:
with open(filename) as f: What needs to change here to ensure
data = f.readline() this function returns an Athlete object
templ = data.strip().split(',') as opposed to a dictionary?
return({'Name' : templ.pop(0),
'DOB' : templ.pop(0),
'Times': str(sorted(set([sanitize(t) for t in templ]))[0:3])})
except IOError as ioerr:
print('File error: ' + str(ioerr))
return(None)
This line of code

needs to change, too.
james = get_coach_data('james2.txt')

print(james['Name'] + "'s fastest times are: " + james['Times'])
