Generating playing cards This code has several functions and procedures for the program to generate cards like '5 of diamond'. I would like to shorten the code.

def random(one,two):
    import random
    number = random.randint(one,two)
    return number

def suit():
    suitnumber = random(1,4)
    if suitnumber == 1:
        suitb = 'Spade'
    elif suitnumber == 2:
        suitb = 'Hearts'
    elif suitnumber == 3:
        suitb = 'Diamonds'
    elif suitnumber == 4:
        suitb = 'Clubs'

    return suitb

def number():
    number = random(1,13)
    if number == 13:
        value = 'Ace'
    elif number == 12:
        value = 'King'
    elif number == 11:
        value = 'Queen'
    elif number == 10:
        value = 'Jack'
    elif number &lt; 10:
        value = number

    return value


def card():
    cardnumber = number()
    cardsuit = suit()
    card = cardsuit,cardnumber
    return card

def store10Cards():
    tenCards = [card(),
               card(),
               card(),
               card(),
               card(),
               card(),
               card(),
               card(),
               card(),
               card()]
    return tenCards



def yourCards():
    cards = store10Cards()
    counter = 1
    choice = int(input('Which of your cards would you want to see? You have 10 cards : '))
    if choice == 1:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[0])
    elif choice == 2:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[1])
    elif choice == 3:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[2])
    elif choice == 4:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[3])
    elif choice == 5:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[4])
    elif choice == 6:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[5])
    elif choice == 7:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[6])
    elif choice == 8:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[7])
    elif choice == 9:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[8])
    elif choice == 10:
        print('Your chosen card is',cards[9])

        import time
        time.sleep(5)

    return cards




print('Hi')
import time
time.sleep(2)
print('You have 10 cards')
time.sleep(2)
choice = input('Would you like to see them? Y/N  : ')
choice = choice.title()
if choice == 'Y':
    yourCards()
elif choice == 'N':
    print('Too bad')
    time.sleep(1)
    import sys
    sys.exit(0)
You should collect all imports at the beginning of the file. You have strange card numbers and why is choice 10 special? Normally, card games have decks, and not random constructed cards, e.g. you could have 10 equal cards.

import time
import random

SUITS = ('Spade', 'Hearts', 'Diamonds', 'Clubs')
NUMBERS = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,'Jack','Queen','King','Ace')

def card():
    return random.choice(SUITS), random.choice(NUMBERS)

def store10Cards():
    return [card() for _ in range(10)]

def yourCards():
    cards = store10Cards()
    choice = int(input('Which of your cards would you want to see? You have 10 cards : '))
    print('Your chosen card is', cards[choice - 1])
    if choice == 10:
        time.sleep(5)
    return cards

print('Hi')
time.sleep(2)
print('You have 10 cards')
time.sleep(2)
choice = input('Would you like to see them? Y/N  : ').upper()
if choice == 'Y':
    yourCards()
elif choice == 'N':
    print('Too bad')
    time.sleep(1)
