The square root of 19451945 is a bit over 4410.
The square root of half of 19451945 is a bit over 3118.
To avoid duplicates, we only need to check from 1 to 3118 or from 3118 to 4410.

----
squares = [i*i for i in range(1,4412)]

for i in range(1,3119):
    diff = 19451945 - i*i
    if diff in squares:
        print('({},{}) whose square roots are ({},{})'.format(diff,i*i, int(diff**.5),i))
