There are a couple of lines that look like this:
 self.grid.squarebuttons[column].flash()
If you comment out those two lines, then the flashing disappears, and it still
works.
Of course, if I'd used unit tests, I'd have figured that out a lot sooner. I
would just have had the somewhat bigger problem of devising a unit test that
would detect this.
