pkrbot 1.0.4

Fast poker hand evaluation library with eval7-compatible API

pkrbot

Fast poker hand evaluator. Drop-in replacement for eval7, 2-3x faster.

Install

pip install pkrbot

Usage

import pkrbot
import random

# Evaluate a hand
hand = [pkrbot.Card('As'), pkrbot.Card('Kh'), pkrbot.Card('Qd'), pkrbot.Card('Jc'), pkrbot.Card('Ts')]
result = pkrbot.evaluate(hand)
print(pkrbot.handtype(result))  # "Straight"

# Use a deck
deck = pkrbot.Deck()
deck.shuffle()
hand = deck.deal(7)
result = pkrbot.evaluate(hand)

# Use a set seed deck
rng = random.Random(42)
deck = pkrbot.Deck(42)
deck.shuffle()            # will use seed 42
hand = deck.sample(7)     # will use seed 42 as well
deck_2 = pkrbot.Deck(rng) # will use seed 42, but with persisted random state in rng
print(pkrbot.handtype(pkrbot.evaluate(hand)))

API

Cards: pkrbot.Card('As') - Ranks: 2-9, T, J, Q, K, A, Suits: c, d, h, s

Deck:

• deck.shuffle() - Randomize
• deck.deal(n) - Remove and return n cards
• deck.peek(n) - View top n cards
• deck.sample(n) - Get n random cards

Evaluate: result = pkrbot.evaluate(hand) - Higher values = better hands

Hand Type: pkrbot.handtype(result) - Returns: "Straight Flush", "Quads", "Full House", "Flush", "Straight", "Trips", "Two Pair", "Pair", "High Card"

Performance

~2-3x faster than eval7. Optimized Cython with aggressive compiler flags.
