Yes. And you probably need to use a dictionary to hold the value 
against
the card.

Nope, this is a very good question. I haven't been paying attention to
the card dealing functions posted recently but I assume adding in a
dictionary to assign a value per card dealt wouldn't be too hard.
You could then return the cards as tuples or somesuch...
