I'm guessing you're trying to create a blackjack game, correct? Instead of creating a totally random card, you can create hand and deck classes so that you have a set of 52 cards in play without duplicates.

It would look something like this:

(Inspired by code by in Python Programming for the absolute beginner by Micheal Dawson, chapter nine)

[php]
class Hand(object):
""" A hand of playing cards. """
def __init__(self):
self.cards = []

def __str__(self):
if self.cards:
rep = ""
for card in self.cards:
rep += str(card) + "\t"
else:
rep = "<empty>"
return rep

def clear(self):
self.cards = []

def add(self, card):
self.cards.append(card)

def give(self, card, other_hand):
self.cards.remove(card)
other_hand.add(card)

#The Deck class is inherited from the Hand class. So it retains all #methods and attributes except for those that it overrides.
class Deck(Hand):
def populate(self):
for suit in Card.SUITS:
for rank in Card.RANKS:
self.add(Card(rank, suit))

def shuffle(self):
import random
random.shuffle(self.cards)

def deal(self, hands, per_hand = 1):
for rounds in range(per_hand):
for hand in hands:
if self.cards:
top_card = self.cards[0]
self.give(top_card, hand)
else:
print "Can't continue deal. Out of cards!"
[/php]

The project for the chapter in that book is in fact a text based but rather in depth black jack game. (and is a rather dang good book besides) so it's well worth it to pick it up.

I happened to go to a bookshop yesterday and purchased the book 'Python Programming, for the absolute beginner' given the chapter on classes is much easier to understand than the text book I'm using now.

Your comments are easier now to understand given I am starting to understand the language.

Thanks Zonr_0:cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:
