cardspy 1.0.2

Functionalities for playing cards

cardspy

A Python library for modeling and manipulating playing cards, decks, suits, and ranks. Provides utilities for games, simulations, and card-based logic.

Features

• Full 52-card deck modeling
• Card, Suit, and Rank objects with rich properties
• Deck operations: shuffle, deal, add/remove cards, reset, clear
• Bitmask utilities for efficient card set operations
• 100% test coverage

Installation

pip install cardspy

Quick Start

from cardspy.deck import Deck
from cardspy.card import Card, C2C, C3D, sort_cards, cards_mask, extract_cards, rank_mask_from_cards
from cardspy.suit import CLUB, DIAMOND, HEART, SPADE
from cardspy.rank import R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, RT, RJ, RQ, RK, RA

# Create a new deck
deck = Deck()
print(f"Deck has {deck.count()} cards")  # 52

# Shuffle and deal 5 cards
deck.shuffle()
cards_mask_val = deck.deal_cards(5)  # Bitmask of 5 cards
dealt_cards = extract_cards(cards_mask_val)
print("Dealt:", [str(card) for card in dealt_cards])

# Remove a card
deck.remove_card(C2C.key)
print(deck.contains(C2C.key))  # False

# Add a card back
deck.add_card(C2C.key)
print(deck.contains(C2C.key))  # True

# Sort cards
sorted_cards = sort_cards(dealt_cards)
print("Sorted:", [str(card) for card in sorted_cards])

# Bitmask utilities
mask = cards_mask([C2C, C3D])
print(mask)
print(extract_cards(mask))
print(rank_mask_from_cards(mask))

API Reference

Card

• Card(key, rank, suit, code, name, symbol)
• Predefined constants: C2C, C2D, ..., CAS (all 52 cards)
• Methods: __str__(), __repr__()

Suit

• Suit(key, code, name, symbol)
• Predefined: CLUB, DIAMOND, HEART, SPADE

Rank

• Rank(key, code, name)
• Predefined: R2, R3, ..., RA

Deck

• Deck() — creates a new deck (full 52 cards)
• deck.shuffle() — shuffle deck
• deck.clear() — remove all cards
• deck.reset() — restore to full deck
• deck.count() — number of cards
• deck.get_cards() — list of Card objects in deck
• deck.add_card(card_key) — add a card by key
• deck.add_cards(cards_key) — add multiple cards by bitmask
• deck.remove_card(card_key) — remove a card by key
• deck.remove_cards(cards_key) — remove multiple cards by bitmask
• deck.deal_cards(count, shuffle=True) — deal N cards, returns bitmask
• deck.deal_specific_card(card_key) — deal a specific card
• deck.deal_specific_cards(cards_key) — deal specific cards by bitmask
• deck.contains(card_key) — check if card is present

Utility Functions (in cardspy.card)

• sort_cards(cards) — sort by rank
• cards_mask(cards) — get bitmask from list of cards
• extract_cards(mask) — get list of cards from bitmask
• extract_cards_key(mask) — get list of card keys from bitmask
• rank_mask_from_cards(mask) — get rank bitmask from card bitmask

Example: Poker Hand Evaluation

from cardspy.card import C2C, C3C, C4C, C5C, C6C, cards_mask, extract_cards

# Create a straight flush
hand = [C2C, C3C, C4C, C5C, C6C]
mask = cards_mask(hand)
print("Hand mask:", mask)
print("Extracted:", extract_cards(mask))
