Google found a page which says:
   Two other examples in Lib/test/test_generators.py produce solutions
   for the N-Queens problem (placing  queens on an  chess board so that
   no queen threatens another) and the Knight's Tour (a route that takes
   a knight to every square of an  chessboard without visiting any square
   twice).

So I guess the answer would be "use the source".
