semicolon is allowed as statement separator

>>> a=1;b=2;c=3
>>> print(a,b,c)
1 2 3

It is not required if you write each statement in a new line

Python does not require semi-colons to terminate statements. Semi-colons can be used to delimit statements if you wish to put multiple statements on the same line.
