Danger

This project is an example of how to create python packages with nbdev. It’s not a fully-fledged card dealing library!

How to use

Playing cards in python!

from cards_deck.deck import Deck
d = Deck()
print(f'Number of playing cards in the deck: {len(d)}')

Number of playing cards in the deck: 52

card = d.pop()
card, len(d)

(K♠️, 51)

See the docs for more info.
