[Tutor] what happened to the cards module

It depends where you "him" shuffling & dealing cards. 
Pygames doesn't exist, pygame does, but probably doesn't have what you're looking for.

I do remember a set of questions on this list with a Cards example, but that was just some home-written code.

You'll need to check the context of where you saw this, and if it's useful and usable to you.
And I certainly don't know what you mean by a card playing framework: do you mean (library) code, which language, what "card game"?
