pydealer 1.2.2

A package for constructing decks of playing cards.

A simple package for constructing a Deck object, of 52 common playing cards. Each card is a separate Card object, with a name, value, suit, and abbreviation. Could possibly be used for a command prompt/console, card-based game, or even a graphical game as well, I suppose.
