I don't know how big your "bigger numbers" are, but this should run in
a reasonable time. It helps if you are using Python 2.6. If not, you
should go on-line to the itertools docs to get the pure-Python
equivalent for itertools.combinations.
Since no matches are "thrown away", the byes are expressed simply as a
list of players that have to sit out for the week.
A couple of the lines are on the longish side, so beware of wrapping
from the browser/newsreader.
# Let's just try choosing from the possible combinations, each week
# scheduling those who have played the least or waited the longest.

if len(self.played) != len(other.played):
return len(self.played) - len(other.played)
