# This module has classes for a set of playing cards and a deck of cards
#
# the Card class
# methods:
#	__init__: generate a card with given suit rank
#	__str__: print the given card
#   cmp: compare 2 cards, return 1, 0, -1 as appropriate
#			order is S, H, D, C (suits) and A, K, Q, J, 10, ... (ranks)
#	rcmp: compare the rank of 2 cards, return 1, 0, -1 as appropriate
#	scmp: compare the suit of 2 cards, return 1, 0, -1 as appropriate
