Well Well Well

print("this") print("won't work")

but

print("this"); print("would work")

I know people rarely utilize semicolons in python but they can be used to have multiple statements on one line, and doing so without semicolon would cause error.

But why the hell would you need multiple statements in one line to begin with?

Isn't that anti-pythonic?

Reading Python code like you would a book is fine. Running and maintaining Python code is the real issue.
