Ok, I'll take a look at those.

I'm sure there will be optimizations, but profiling showed that the
copying of the puzzles took the most time. Since the copy.deepcopy()
function is implemented it Python, I'd thought it would get quite a
speed boost when done in C instead.

As a side-question: how would I go about compiling my C module in
Windows, if I want to ship a Windows version?
