Thought I'd offer a method for solving all possible 9x9 sudoku puzzles in one go. It'll takes a bit of time to run however (and 9x9 seems to be about as big as is reasonably possible before combinatorial explosion completely scuppers this type of program)... Basic idea:- Start with a grid initial

AhhI see. I played around with the sys.path function...and it looks like python automatically looks in the same directory as my script first. Then is searches to all the other pre-defined paths. So it works for me to just keep my main script in the same directory as the two modules I'm using
