Card Shuffling

In this one, the user sets the number of players and cards per player. Then, it shuffles and lists cards dealt, as well as which cards each player is dealt. In the Clue program, it was suggested I use "random.variable" to simplify things, but I don't see how to isolate the position of each card drawn in the array. So, instead of removing from a set list, I created the array and then listed. I would like to try this again, where each card dealt out is removed from the 52 card list, and instead of listing based on position, it is more real with place holders. To do this, I need to find out how to deal with an indeterminate number of players so I can assign a list/array to each player. Then, it is not needed to base things on position.

Can be tested at https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/online-compiler/ (Remove the 3 lines of "stuff" on the left on their site, or it might not run properly. Also, the site seems to time out, but it's the only one I see that can run this one.)
