I have a few friends who write rounds in Python, and I noticed that they don't use some very simple optimizations, and the program ends up getting TL. Meanwhile, if you use these constructions, in half or more cases TL is removed.

I will show everything using the example code of my friend I_am_Drew from a recent round. This code received TL (worked longer than $$$1$$$ second).

for __ in range(int(input())):
    n, m = list(map(int, input().split()))
    kek = []
    for i in range(n):
        el = list(map(int, input().split()))
        el.append(0)
        kek.append(el)
    stolb = list(map(int, input().split()))
    ind = 0
    for i in range(m):
        if kek[0][i] in stolb:
            ind = i
            break
 
    for i in range(n):
        kek[i][m] = stolb.index(kek[i][ind])
 
    for j in range(m-1):
        stolb = list(map(int, input().split()))
 
    kek.sort(key=lambda x: x[m])
    for elem in kek:
        elem.pop()
        print(*elem)

First, as you know, data input and output takes quite a long time. Fortunately, this can be fixed using the sys module. I usually write this way because it's the quickest fix, but of course it's not exactly code-style :)

from sys import stdin, stdout
input, print = stdin.readline, stdout.write

The stdin.readline function reads a string like input, but faster. Also, if necessary, there is, for example, the stdin.read function, which reads all input as a string (then you need to put ^D after it is completed), and others, but I usually do not use them. The output is more complicated, the stdout.write function accepts only strings, and does not output a line feed or other separator after it. Therefore, you have to write as in the example below, it is also not very long to fix it, the main thing is not to forget :) After the conversions, you get this code.

from sys import stdin, stdout
input, print = stdin.readline, stdout.write
for __ in range(int(input())):
    n, m = list(map(int, input().split()))
    kek = []
    for i in range(n):
        el = list(map(int, input().split()))
        el.append(0)
        kek.append(el)
    stolb = list(map(int, input().split()))
    ind = 0
    for i in range(m):
        if kek[0][i] in stolb:
            ind = i
            break

    for i in range(n):
        kek[i][m] = stolb.index(kek[i][ind])

    for j in range(m - 1):
        stolb = list(map(int, input().split()))

    kek.sort(key=lambda x: x[m])
    for elem in kek:
        elem.pop()
        # print(' '.join(map(str, elem)))
        for q in elem:
            print(str(q)+' ')
        print('\n')
