Why do you want to keep two lists, a card has both a rank and a suit, they belong together to make the card. If you just shuffle the rank list, then you lost the connection with the suit list. As I mentioned before, keep your cards in a list of (rank, suit) tuples. That list will by default sort by rank (item 0 of the tuple) and keep the suit along. The same goes for the random.shuffle().
The following code is suppose to print a pack of cards in order, then shuffle them and reprint them again. Using Deck to print them it's not quite how I would like it.
This is how its printing...
[['1', 'h'], ['2', 'h'], ['3', 'h']...
I would like it to print:
Ace of Hearts
2 of Hearts
...
my file is saved like...
1 of h
2 of h
...
