To my knowledge, Kiri8128 is the first to reach grandmaster with python3/pypy3 without ever switching to C++.

Overall he's the third person to reach GM with python, the other two are pajenegod who uses pypy2 and conqueror_of_tourist who uses pypy3 (but occasionally switches to C++ for tight TL).

Congrats and thanks for being an inspiration for the rest of us python users!

In Codeforces Global Round 9, conqueror_of_tourist became the first Python user (to my knowledge) to become Grandmaster, with a rating of 2468!

Considering how much Python is derided by most of the people in the CP community, some people thought this was impossible. conqueror_of_tourist has truly mastered writing cancer code in Python. Feel free to PM him for all of your Python needs :^)
