Can someone provide a link on where to find this type of information? I was just hunting through “The Python Language Reference” and could not find anything explicit. The only thing I found is http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html “Several simple statements may occur on a single line separated by semicolons.” Anyways, this does not explicitly say “You shall not put a compound statement after a simple statement separated by a semicolon.”, right?
