This is a tedious kata that doesn't particularly test actual coding knowledge as much as it tests patience for unnecessary menial labor.

the test cases sort a list of PokerHand classes, and you need to sort them based on the hand value.

ah crap, I actually don't understand it too; I pass example test cases but the random test cases just say "failed at test n".

I'm confused, what?

failed at test 0: [JH AH TH KH QH, JH 9H TH KH QH, 5C 6C 3C 7C 4C, 2D 6D 3D 4D 5D, 2C 3C AC 4C 5C, AS AC AH KS AS, JC 7H JS JD JH, JC 6H JS JD JH,

Python: I feel like it could be made a bit clearer what you're supposed to do in terms of returning a sorted value. Are you supposed to define a sort function? Are you supposed to put something in init? Are you supposed to use functools?
If this is part of the kata, then sure, but I feel it could be better specified.
