4 deck card game

[MurimGomes]

I have pretty much only a basic idea how to code on pythonista, the modules help a lot, but I can’t seem to find a way to code a game with 4 separate decks of cards, that aren’t poker decks. It’s similar to cards against humanity, but different. If I could understand how to how the class function works to make, shuffle, and deal from a red, blue, yellow and white deck, and how to make the “cards” themselves which only contain text, I can get on to learning the ui function. Thanks in advance!

#! /usr/bin/env python3

from random import shuffle


def make_card_deck(ranks=None, suits="CDHS") -> list:
    ranks = ranks or [str(n) for n in range(2, 11)] + list("JQKA")
    return [rank + suit for suit in suits for rank in ranks]


if __name__ == "__main__":
    decks = {color: make_card_deck() for color in "blue red yellow white".split()}
    print(decks)
    shuffle(decks["blue"])
    print(decks["blue"])
    print(make_card_deck("iOS Linux macOS Windows".split(), ".app .exe .py".split()))

Hello, does this basic class from the excellent Fluent Python book help? It should support shuffling with random.shuffle() and you can iterate over it to deal cards.

and this sample usage, including sorting with a custom key "Spades high"
