[Tutor] 15 puzzle

[JAIME'S MAIL]

I would like to make a program for the 15-puzzle in python language.  I have
this program for it, but it is in another language.  Could you help me
translate it to python?

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class fifteen extends Applet
{
   private SevenSegmentDigit[] display = new SevenSegmentDigit[3];
   private Button[] Buttons = new Button[16]; //This array is an actuall
playfield.
   private Button shuffleBtn = new Button ("&Shuffle");
   private int score=0;
   private int shuffling=0;
   private Font f;
/*---------------------------------------------------------------*/
 public String getAppletInfo() //Do I need this function?
 {
  return "Name: fifteen\r\n" +
         "Author: Eugene\r\n" +
         "Created with Microsoft Visual J++ Version 1.0";
 }

/*---------------------------------------------------------------*/
 public void init()
 {
  int i=0;
  String str=new String();

  resize(200, 300);
  setLayout(null); //Why do they bother so hard with layouts?
  setBackground(Color.black);

  for(i=0; i3)
       moveBtn(empty-4);
      return true;

  case Event.LEFT: if(empty % 4 !=3)
       moveBtn(empty+1);
         return true;

  case Event.RIGHT: if(empty % 4 != 0)
       moveBtn(empty-1);
         return true;

        case 's':
  case 'S': shuffle();
         return true;
  }
   return false;
 }
/*---------------------------------------------------------------*/
 public boolean action(Event evt, Object what)
 {
  int i=0;

   for(i=0;i
