This is one of my first programmes in python and I really could use some feedback on how to improve. It's meant to be a multiplayer game by handing the computer to the next player at the end of each turn.

Will finish review later if I have a chance! The most important thing is to create functions for repeated code. Using classes instead of list/tuple/dictionary-based structures also helps. May I refer you to The Zen of Python?

Tips in the order came up with them:

1. You have an unused import os.


2. IMO, it makes more sense to use the term "hand" to refer to each player's cards and "deck" to refer to the cards not yet dealt.


3. 
   check_deck would be better named sum_hand.


4. Extracting your input code into a function called input_integer would greatly improve readability.


5. IMO, it doesn't really make sense to add pauses.


6. It might make sense to extract your prompts as constants to allow for decreased clutter and easier internationalization.


7. Code such as for i in range(len(player_list)): can should be refactored into for player in player_list: (or for i, player in enumerate(player_list): if the index is necessary). This is both more efficient and more readable.


8. If you use f-strings, there's no point in using concatenation.


9. Make sure to use variable names that are as descriptive as possible.


10. Make sure to use a main function and an if __name__ == '__main__': check. See this answer (as well as the other answers to that question) for more information.


11. Use in-place operators (e.g. a = a + b is (almost) identical in functionality to a += b).


12. I may have forgotten to mention some things.

Remember to use functions to your advantage and use descriptive names!

Instead of manually enter every item in the command

card={"1":1, "2":2, "2":2, "3":3, "4":4, "5":5, "6":6, "7":7, "8":8, "9":9, "Jack":10, "Queen":10, "King":10, "Ace":1}

you may use

card = {str(i): i for i in range(1, 10)}

card.update(dict(zip("Jack Queen King Ace".split(), 3 * [10] + [1])))

and, similarly, instead of

Deck={"Hearts":None, "Spades":None, "Clubs":None, "Diamonds":None}

you may use

Deck = dict(zip("Hearts Spades Clubs Diamonds".split(), 4 * [None]))

or, even better (thanks to Aaron Hall) -

Deck = dict.fromkeys("Hearts Spades Clubs Diamonds".split())

and instead of commands like

ace_number=ace_number+1

you may use

ace_number += 1

And, it would be nice to follow the PEP 8 - Style Guide for Python Code suggestions.
