Solving the region-coloring problem

Let's use the Constraint Satisfaction framework to solve the region-coloring problem. Consider the following screenshot:

We have a few regions in the preceding figure that are labeled with names. Our goal is to color with four colors so that no adjacent regions have the same color.

Create a new Python file and import the following packages:

from simpleai.search import CspProblem, backtrack 

Define the constraint that specifies that the values should be different:

# Define the function that imposes the constraint # that neighbors should be different def constraint_func(names, values): return values[0] != values[1] ...
