PyJack

[Chris Patton]

I just finished my first program (PyJack)! If you'll noticed, there
are many ways inwich I can shorten the program (I really don't know
all the python syntax.) Please post suggestions.

code:



# PYJACKv1
# This is a 'blackjack' program written in python. There are two os
calls, that makes this program disqualified for 'operating system
independency', but oh well. These calls only screen. Change
accordingly
