Python: Code is ignoring the if and else

2013-08-02 Thread kevin4fong
I'm trying to create a game of Go Fish in Python. But I've stumbled onto a little problem that I can't seem to figure out how to deal with. There is a human player (player 0) and three computer players (from 1-3). The human player goes first and chooses a target player. And then a card rank
