import itertools, random
my_deck = list(itertools.product(range(1,11),['Spade','Heart','Diamond','Club']))
print("The cards are being shuffled")
random.shuffle(my_deck)
print("Cards are drawn at random")
print("They are : ")
for i in range(5):
   print(my_deck[i][0], "of", my_deck[i][1])

They are :
