Almost done. Just two things:
- You have defined a function to convert the file format into tuples. But  
you are not consistent with the ordering: in the file they come  
rank+space+suit. When you convert to tuple you use (suit,rank). Inside the  
comparison function you use a[0] as rank and a[1] as suit again. Be  
consistent.
- The sort expects a list of tuples, but you still use the lines read from  
the file; you forgot to call the function above to convert them.
