Python - Importing Data with a Class

[macca1111]

Hi,

I need some help on how to read a file

2 h
3 s
6 d
Ace s
...

Importing this into Python and then sorting and printing in order.

I have done some work, yet I can never seem to get the data to Python and split it accordingly>
Class Card:
def __init__(self, rank, suit):
'''Indicates rank from 1-13, as well as the card's 4 different suits'''
self.rank = rank
self.suit = suit
self.ranks = [None, "Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King"]
self.suits = ["Spades","Diamonds","clubs","hearts"]
self.BJ = [None, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10]

How do I split the file into the two pieces ie 2 h to equal 2 and Hearts.

Here is one way to do it, using slicing, a for loop and indexing with enumerate():

# let's say you read your file in as a string ...
str1 = """
2 h
3 s
6 d
Ace s
"""

list1 = str1.split()

print list1  # ['2', 'h', '3', 's', '6', 'd', 'Ace', 's']

suit_list = list1[1::2]
rank_list = list1[0::2]

print suit_list  # ['h', 's', 'd', 's']
print rank_list  # ['2', '3', '6', 'Ace']

# replace h with Hearts etc.
for index, suit in enumerate(suit_list):
    if suit == 'h':
        suit_list[index] = "Hearts"
    elif suit == 'c':
        suit_list[index] = "Clubs"
    elif suit == 's':
        suit_list[index] = "Spades"
    elif suit == 'd':
        suit_list[index] = "Diamonds"

print suit_list  # ['Hearts', 'Spades', 'Diamonds', 'Spades']

Please use code tags on your code to preserve the all so important indentation!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, thks for your help Ene...

I have the following code that does sort of works.

I'm not quite sure how to get the shuffle working and selecting a card from the top and removing it.

import string

list1 = open('H:\cards.txt').read()

class Card:
    suitList = list1[1::2]
    rankList = list1[0::2]
    
    def __init__(self,suit,rank):
        self.suit = suit
        self.rank = rank
        
    def __repr__(self):
        return str(self)
    
    def __str__(self):
        return "%s of %s" % (self.rankList[self.rank],self.suitList[self.suit])
    
    def __cmp__(self,other):
        if self.suit > other.suit: return 1
        if self.suit < other.suit: return -1
        if self.rank > other.rank: return 1
        if self.rank < other.rank: return -1
        return 0

class Deck:
    def __init__(self):
        self.cards = []
        for suit in range(4):
            for rank in range(1,14):
                self.cards.append(Card(suit,rank))

    def printDeck(self):
        for card in self.cards:
            print card
                
    def __str__(self):
      s = ""
      for i in range(len(self.cards)):
        s = s + " " + str(self.cards[i]) + "\n"
      return s #= s + " " + str(self.cards[i]) + '\n'

    def shuffle(self):
        import random
        nCards = len(self.cards)
        for i in range(nCards):
            j = random.randrange(i, nCards)
            [self.cards[i], self.cards[j]] = [self.cards[j], self.cards[i]]

    def removeCard(self, card):
        if card in self.cards:
          self.cards.remove(card)
          return 1
        else: return 0
        
    def popCard(self):
        return self.cards.pop()
    
def main():
    list2 = list1.split()
    Card.suitList = list2[1::2]
    Card.rankList = list2[0::2]
    deck = Deck()
    deck.shuffle()    ###How can I have this now shuffled deck        saved to cards.txt
    
    
    print Card.suitList
    print Card.rankList

    # replace suit with full word
    for index, suit in enumerate(Card.suitList):
        if suit == 'h':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Hearts"
        elif suit == 'c':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Clubs"
        elif suit == 's':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Spades"
        elif suit == 'd':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Diamonds"


    
    
main()

Just a note, function names like __str__, __repr__, __cmp__ have a special meaning in Python, do not use them for your class methods unless you want them to fullfill this special purpose.

I think I will stay away from using "class" until I learn how to use OOP at least rudimentary.

Hi,

I seem to be going around in circles. Probably not knowing much about Python doens't help.

With the following code I need to get it to:
1. read a file in then shuffle the pack and save it to the same file.

2 h
3 d
5 d
...

2. read the file then sort it, then print out n number of cards
3. have the top card removed
4. print out the number of cards

import string

list1 = open('H:\cards.txt').read()

class Card:
    suitList = list1[1::2]
    rankList = list1[0::2]

    def shuffle(self):
        import random

        # Swap randomly selected card i with randomly selected card j

    print deck

I think you should change your code to use inheritance and a tuple for the cards (that someone else mentioned at one point). It seems like this code is more complex than it needs to be. That's just my opinion.

Hi,

I have the following code yet it doesn't replace anything other than the hearts:

import string

f = open('C:\cs.txt','r').read()

class Card:
    suitList = f[1::2]
    rankList = f[0::2]
    
    def __init__(self,suit,rank):
        self.suit = suit
        self.rank = rank
        
    def __repr__(self):
        return str(self)
    
    def __str__(self):
        return "%s of %s" % (self.rankList[self.rank],self.suitList[self.suit])
    
    def __cmp__(self,other):
       if self.suit > other.suit: return 1
       if self.suit < other.suit: return -1
       if self.rank > other.rank: return 1
       if self.rank < other.rank: return -1
       return 0

class Deck:
    def __init__(self):
        self.cards = []
        for suit in range(4):
            for rank in range(1,14):
                self.cards.append(Card(suit,rank))

    def printDeck(self):
        for card in self.cards:
            print card

    def __str__(self):
        s = ""
        for i in range(len(self.cards)):
            s = s + " " + str(self.cards[i]) + '\n'
        return s


def main():
    cardList = f.split()
    Card.suitList = cardList[1::2]
    Card.rankList = cardList[0::2]

    # replace suit with full word
    for index, suit in enumerate(Card.suitList):
        if suit == 'h':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Hearts"
        elif suit == 'c':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Clubs"
        elif suit == 's':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Spades"
        elif suit == 'd':
            Card.suitList[index] = "Diamonds"

    print Deck()
    
       

main()

My cs.txt file is

Ace h
2 h
3 h
...
2 d
3 d
...

and the output is all ... of hearts.

2 of Hearts
3 of Hearts
4 of Hearts
5 of Hearts
6 of Hearts
7 of Hearts
8 of Hearts
9 of Hearts
10 of Hearts
Jack of Hearts
Queen of Hearts
King of Hearts
Ace of Hearts
2 of Hearts
3 of Hearts
4 of Hearts
5 of Hearts
6 of Hearts
7 of Hearts
8 of Hearts

I'm not too sure why it replaces the 'hearts' yet not anything else.
