i made this but i cant test it cause i am on a chromebook and the compiler i used wont work, i want this to give player_ones_hand
7 random cards
(bold text is the program i think not sure \'_'/)

import random

def draw_card():
    card_drawn_INT = random.randint(1, 10)
    if card_drawn_INT <= 4:
        card_drawn = [infantry]
    elif  card_drawn_INT == [5,6,7,8]:
        card_drawn = [tank]
    elif card_drawn_INT == [9,10]:
        card_drawn = [plane]
    return card_drawn_INT
    return card_drawn
print(card_drawn_INT)
print(card_drawn)

def deal_player_one():
    player_one_hand = []
    for i in(7):
        draw_card
        player_one_hand[] = player_one_hand + card_drawn
    return player_one_hand
print(player_one_hand)

have indented everything by the way

You could run the code in https://python-forum.io/misc.php?page=interpreter

see the comments added to your code

import random
 
def draw_card():
    card_drawn_INT = random.randint(1, 10)
    if card_drawn_INT <= 4:
        card_drawn = [infantry] # infantry not defined
    elif  card_drawn_INT == [5,6,7,8]: # card_drawn_INT is a single item wont == a list, use in
        card_drawn = [tank] # tank not defined
    elif card_drawn_INT == [9,10]: # card_drawn_INT is a single item wont == a list, use in
        card_drawn = [plane] # plane not defined
    return card_drawn_INT # if you want to return more than one item return them both, return card_drawn_INT, card_drawn
    return card_drawn # unreachable returns on the previous return
# draw_card has not been called and its result is not assigned to a variable
print(card_drawn_INT) # card_drawn_INT not defined
print(card_drawn) # card_drawn not defined
 
def deal_player_one():
    player_one_hand = []
    for i in(7): # not how you loop 7 times use range
        draw_card # not called and result not assigned to a variable card_drawn
        player_one_hand[] = player_one_hand + card_drawn # invalid assignment of player_one_hand use lists append method, card_drawn not defined
    return player_one_hand
# deal_player_one has not been called and its result is not assigned to a variable
print(player_one_hand) # player_one_hand not defined

I don't think you can use random.randint() to draw a card, at least not if you want it to mimic drawing a card from a physical deck. What you've written is more like rolling a die. The difference is that when you draw cards from a deck you remove the cards. Those particular cards cannot be drawn again, and drawing a card changes the probability of what card is drawn next. When rolling a die the next roll is not affected in any way by the previous roll

To draw cards from a deck you should create a deck of cards, shuffle the deck, take cards off the top of the deck.

import random

# Create deck of cards that contains 8 infantry, 8 tanks, 4 planes
deck = ["infantry"] * 8 + ["tank"] * 8 + ["plane"] * 4
random.shuffle(deck)
print(deck)

Output:
['tank', 'plane', 'tank', 'infantry', 'tank', 'tank', 'infantry', 'infantry', 'tank', 'infantry', 'plane', 'tank', 'infantry', 'infantry', 'infantry', 'plane', 'plane', 'tank', 'infantry', 'tank']

To draw a card from the deck just pop() off the first card. Now the deck contains 1 less card.
