Here is code which I wrote to experiment how hard it is to get Royal Flush in Poker.

yield deck.pop()

return sorted(islice(dealer,5))

return all(suit==firstsuit
for value,suit in cards
for _,firstsuit in (cards[0],)
)

if all(a==b for a,b in zip(range(2,6)+[14],[x for x,_ in cards])):
## print 'Small ace',cards #straight 1..5
return True
else:

for (thisvalue,_),(nextvalue,_) in zip(cards[:-1],cards[1:]))
