Part of the reason I am writing this program is to learn OOP, hence
the use of classes. Most of what little programming background I have
comes from working with various flavors of BASIC on old Atari 8-bit
computers back in the day, and more recently a little Tcl/Tk, so my
first instinct is to do everything from a procedural standpoint. I'm
trying to get out of my comfort zone.
As for the game, I am doing the 'easy' version of spider that uses 8
suits of spades. I was planing to just re-draw the display after each
move. Input-wise, I was just going to use raw_input. My idea was to
have a move consist of a three character coordinate, The 10 dealt
piles would be named by letter, A-J, and the cards in each pile would
be by number, i.e. 1-nn. A move would consist of the starting pile,
the number of the card in that pile, and the letter of the destination
pile, so 'B5H' would move everything from the 5th card down in pile B
and put it on pile H.

What are the rules of your version of Spider? The only spiders I know
have 10 dealt piles and 1 draw pile.
I think you have greatly complicated things by using classes. Consider:
deck = random.shuffle(range(13)*8) # list of 108 card "indexes" in
random order.
values = "A23456789JQK" # display values corresponding to indexes
piles = [deck[x:x+10] for x in range(0,108,10)]
Anytime you want to display the value of a card use values[cardIndex]
for example to display the last card in each pile:
for pile in piles:
print values[pile[-1]],
What will your actual display look llike?
Will you completely reprint it after each move, or alter it in place?
How will you get the moves from the player?
