Python split array

[RobertS]

I am trying to split an array into sections, making other arrays.  The user enters a number of cards they want to use, max is 30, it is meant to take the number specified by the user, and split the array into two arrays of that specified size, however i am trying to use:

lines = [stuff in here]

player_cards[]

while loop

  player_cards = lines[n]

  n += 1

 

Sorry if you don't understand the question, i found it difficult to explain

[rcmaehl]

lines = [stuff in here]
player_cards = lines[:]

Will create a new array with the same values
