Small prog question from a newbie: abt variables in a function definition

[B Shyam Sundar]

Hi all,
I am a newbie as far as python is concerned ... I am trying to write a code
for playing bridge in obj oriented manner ..

Well ... i have this small problem:

class hand:
    def __init__(self,set_of_cards=[]):
        self.set_of_cards=set_of_cards
    card_played_flag =0
    def play(played_card):
        for i in self.set_of_cards:
            if self.set_of_cards[i] == played_card:
                self.set_of_cards.remove(played_card)
     def sort_hand():
        for i in self.set_of_cards:
            for j in self.set_of_cards:
                if self.set_of_cards[j].face<self.set_of_cards[i].face
                self.set_of_cards[j],self.set_of_cards[i]=self.set_of_cards
[i],self.set_of_cards[j]
         for i in self.set_of_cards:
            for j in self.set_of_cards:
                if self.set_of_cards[j].suit<self.set_of_cards[i].suit
                self.set_of_cards[j],self.set_of_cards[i]=self.set_of_cards
[i],self.set_of_cards[j]

I have created card as a class with the attributes of suit face so ..
card(suit,face)

So my question is this ---

The compiler doesnt recognise that there is self.set_of_cards[j] can be a
card. It gives a syntax error.
Also I have not created any instance of the class (Can that be a problem)

So how do i fix this?
Also can I specify that the list set_of_cards has only card objects? IF yes
how?

Thanks a lot.
