Can not generate puzzle with code provided from website

Anonymous — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:37:38 -0000

When I try to execute the code-example from http://pythonsudoku.sourceforge.net/doc/howto.html on my computer as follows:

/usr/games$ pysdk --difficulty=normal --region_width=3 --region_height=3 --handicap=0 sudoku.sdk

I only get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried to create the file manually (even chmod-ded it to 777) but it still didn't work:

Traceback (most recent call last):

max_n = int(max(array) ** (1 / 2.0))
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Limited solution algorithms

Andrew Barnert — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:38:35 -0000

pythonsudoku-0.12.4 handle only the three simplest solution algorithms, and even these without full generality. This means that it can neither solve nor generate hard problems.

As is, it can't even solve all of the puzzles at websudoku.com; at brainbashers.com, it can solve only some of the puzzles at hard level, and almost none beyond.

However, if the site is going to say, "If you found a valid sudoku (a sudoku with only one solution) that Python Sudoku can't solve, please, send a bug report with the sudoku (preferable in sdk format) and the method needed to be solved," it should handle most of the popular methods.

Rather than come up with an example puzzle for each method that's missing (although I'll give one below), let me just refer you to http://brainbashers.com/sudokuhelp.asp, which has details on the methods their site uses, as well as a plain list of additional algorithms that were left out because they're not human-appropriate. Of course their choices are arguable, but it's a good start.

That site can also generate a "super hard" puzzle requiring any chosen method. (It's not always perfect; the puzzle may be solvable with a combination of different methods. But you can just keep generating them until you get one that can't be solved with the algorithms currently coded.

One more word about brainbashers: They do a good job describing the methods, giving you puzzles to test them against (with step-by-step solutions), and offering a decent interface with nice hinting. However, they sometimes use some very odd terminology, and some of their descriptions aren't really exact enough to code from. So you'll still need to look at Wikipedia or elsewhere to fill in the gaps.

Here's a "very hard" example from brainbashers that pysdk can't solve.

0 5 0 7 0 9 0 1 0
6 0 0 5 4 1 0 0 8
0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0
5 7 0 0 0 0 0 2 3
0 4 2 0 0 0 5 8 0
9 8 0 0 0 0 0 7 4
0 6 0 0 5 0 0 0 0
8 0 0 4 9 3 0 6 5
0 9 0 6 0 2 0 4 0

Even after giving it a few more numbers (which eliminates the need for one algorithm), it fails:

0 5 0 7 0 9 0 1 0
6 0 0 5 4 1 0 0 8
0 0 0 0 2 0 0 5 0
5 7 0 0 0 4 0 2 3
0 4 2 0 0 0 5 8 0
9 8 0 2 0 5 0 7 4
0 6 0 0 5 0 0 0 0
8 0 0 4 9 3 0 6 5
0 9 5 6 0 2 0 4 0

Here's the solution:

2 5 8 7 3 9 4 1 6
6 3 7 5 4 1 2 9 8
4 1 9 8 2 6 3 5 7
5 7 6 9 8 4 1 2 3
1 4 2 3 6 7 5 8 9
9 8 3 2 1 5 6 7 4
7 6 4 1 5 8 9 3 2
8 2 1 4 9 3 7 6 5
3 9 5 6 7 2 8 4 1

GUI not refreshing when created a new sudoku

Xosé Otero — Sat, 23 Sep 2006 03:20:46 -0000

When a new sudoku is created, the GUI is not
refreshed.

give_one can give more than one number

Xosé Otero — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 16:27:57 -0000

In GUI, give_one can give more than one number if
these numbers are too easy to calculate (internal
problem with Sudoku.Sudoku solver algorithms).

give_one not working

Pascal Dupuis — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 09:03:01 -0000

Hello,
I use the version from pythonsudoku_0.12.3-1_all.deb which seems a bit more recent than the one found in pythonsudoku-0.12.zip. If I choose 'give one' in the gui, I get AttributeError: 'Gui' object has no attribute 'to_board'
It seems they have been some code moved around, so the calls occurs within the wrong classe ? Could you check ?
TIA

Installation problem

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 07:45:02 -0000

my email address: mircea.andrei@wanadoo.fr

Hello,
I install as root following the indications in INSTALL
file.
When running the program from the command line, it
crashes with the traceback message printed below.
I looked through the help and the TODO file but could
not find the way to make it work.
Thanks for your attention.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/games/pysdk.py", line 442, in ?

File "/usr/games/pysdk.py", line 389, in main

missing pysdk.cfg and default values for pdf/printer opts

revilyo — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 16:30:20 -0000

1st bug :
---------
$ ./pysdk.py

File "/usr/games/pysdk.py", line 62, in ?
from pythonsudoku.text import create_sudoku,
solve_sudoku
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pythonsudoku/text.py",
line 25, in ?
from config import options
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pythonsudoku/config.py",
line 62, in ?
default = Config(platform.get("paths", "syscfg"),
platform)
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pythonsudoku/config.py",
line 34, in __init__
ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser.readfp(self,
file(syscfg))

Here syscfg value is "pysdk.cfg" and its path is
relative, I think you should seek it in "/etc".
Moreover, the install step of distutils seems to forget
to install it in "/etc".

2nd bug :
---------
After a copy this file to my launch directory, I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/games/pysdk.py", line 442, in ?
main()
File "/usr/games/pysdk.py", line 389, in main
set_options(opts)
File "/usr/games/pysdk.py", line 325, in set_options
if opts.pdf or opts.printer:
AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'pdf'

It's surely not the best way to correct it, but adding
these two lines works for me (pysdk, l.389) :
opts.pdf = False
opts.printer = False

Now, after all, I can play :)

Solver not working correctly

Anonymous — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 14:30:26 -0000

The sudoku solver doesn't seem to work correctly. I've
tried some of the sudokus from
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~gordon/sudokumin.php, and
the algorithm seems to have problems with some of these.

Example:
# boardsize 3 x 3
0 1 0 3 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 8 0 0 4 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 0

4 0 5 0 7 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0
8 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0

0 0 0 1 0 0 5 0 0
0 0 0 6 0 0 0 8 0
7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

According to http://www.sudokusolver.co.uk/ this has a
unique solution, but PythonSudoku tells me it can't be
solved.
