Example

The defult of five cards in four hands are dealt after creating a deck, and shuffling it.

from carddeck.deck import deck
myD = deck()
myD.shuffle()
myD.deal()
myD.printHands()
--------
Outout:
['Q♥', '8♥', 'A♥', '2♠', '7♣'] 
['4♣', 'K♣', 'J♦', 'J♠', '4♦'] 
['4♥', '7♦', '9♥', '2♦', '10♠'] 
['2♥', 'Q♣', 'A♦', 'J♣', '5♦'] 

The four hands are evaluated using the PokerHands object.

from carddeck.pokerhands import PokerHands
myPH = PokerHands()
for i in range(0,len(myD.hands)):
    theCards = myD.hands[i]
    theHand = myPH.getHand(theCards)
    print(theCards, theHand)
--------
['Q♥', '8♥', 'A♥', '2♠', '7♣'] High card: A
['4♣', 'K♣', 'J♦', 'J♠', '4♦'] Two pair: 4 and J
['4♥', '7♦', '9♥', '2♦', '10♠'] High card: 10
['2♥', 'Q♣', 'A♦', 'J♣', '5♦'] High card: A

The next deal from the remaining cards can then be evaluated.

myD.deal()
for i in range(0,len(myD.hands)):
    theCards = myD.hands[i]
    theHand = myPH.getHand(theCards)
    print(theCards, theHand)
--------
['Q♥', '8♥', 'A♥', '2♠', '7♣'] High card: A
['4♣', 'K♣', 'J♦', 'J♠', '4♦'] Two pair: 4 and J
['4♥', '7♦', '9♥', '2♦', '10♠'] High card: 10
['2♥', 'Q♣', 'A♦', 'J♣', '5♦'] High card: A
