Care to provide the traceback?

What happened in lines 1 through 22? My guess would be

In [13]:from SC.CARDS import *

Be that as is may, eval("BC") can be simplified to BC, 

from module import *

is the last roadhouse en route to chaos and an unqualified

try ... except

shows you are willing to drive with defunct brakes. By introducing exec and
eval() you are throwing the steering wheel out of the window.

Seriously, try to make do with __import__() and getattr() to clean up your
code a bit.
