Currently, the only code in this module is the bootstrapping code necessary to build a database of hands that maps to their "pokerval", which is a 32-bit number that can be compared to other pokervals to see which hand is better. This library is therefore useful to do rapid comparisons of many hands.

Dependencies

• Python 2.x (tested with 2.6 and 2.7)
• probstat for Python: http://sourceforge.net/projects/probstat/ (The Windows .pyd file is included in this repository for convenience.)
• (optional) psyco: Latest Binaries available at http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml.

Getting Started

For maximum performance, install Python 2.6 and the psyco module. It will work fine without, but it will run faster with it.

To play with the library, first run 'database_generator.py' without arguments. It will run for a while, generating databases used to compute and compare poker hands.
