So, I would like to ask if you have a Pythonic approach to
backtracking problems? If so, I'd love to hear your solutions!
I'm not aware of what the problem is. “Back-tracking” doesn't have a
general meaning I recognise beyond random access into a data structure.
So a Python list is the obvious starting point.
Do you have a specific meaning of “back-tracking” that implies
particular problems that are difficult to solve?
As good a definition here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking as
any. As elsewhere in this thread it mentions sudoku. To me this
http://norvig.com/sudoku.html is a classic example of putting theory
into practice. Read and weep :)
