I don't know if there's a better way to get the python submissions for a contest, but for this I wrote a small python utility that returns a set() of handles of member who submitted a particular problem in python.
Code
List of all users who submitted problem E or D in python in previous Div 2
you can set the Status Filter to get the python submission
Ohh i didn't knew this, Can u get all the python solutions of a problem? The point of this is that u can find top coders in python and reference from there code.
Click the 'Problemset' of top bar. There have a solved number for each problem. Then, just click it, you will see the Filter
Got it!
Just add all the top python users into your friendlist. And go to standings to see their submissions.
I use Python for the first few contests. As you may know, the TOP masters all use cpp and it is much faster. So maybe think in Python first and then 'translated' into cpp. After some time it will be easy to direct use cpp for contests.
