continued trouble with classes in python 3.2

Question

In the below code, it is working at first but when I want it to tell me what card number the dealer has it is returning some sort encrypted stuff that I don't understand.

[<__main__.Card object at 0x025A4E50>]

How do I get this to return the corresponding card number?

Also someone said that I may need to use __eq__ when comparing things as opposed to the way that I currently am could someone explain why, and also how to use __eq__ ?

Below is the code for the program that I am trying to get to work, it is a blackjack game.

Answer 1

Print the card instead of the list of card objects and give the card a decent __str__ method to display itself human-readable. Instead of

print(self.player.hand)

try this:

for card in self.player.hand:
    print(card)

and in class Card insert this:

def __str__(self):
    return '%s%s' % (self.number, self.suit)

Concerning your question about the __eq__: An objects __eq__() method gets called whenever it gets compared for equality using the == operator. Without such a method, two objects are only equal if they are the same object. So in your cards you might want to have sth like this:

def __eq__(self, other):
    return self.number == other.number and self.suit == other.suit

Answer 2

When you use str() on a Card object it calls an inherited __str__ method which will print out the class name and address of the object. What you call encrypted is the address of the object. If you want to print out something different, override the __str__ method in your class. For example:

class Card(object):
    def __str__(self):
        return "Card " + self.suit + " " + self.number
