According to the documentation, "...simple statements may occur on a single line separated by semicolons."

The "for" statement is a compound, not simple, statement.

Would it be possible to place your statements in a function and then you would just need to invoke the function?

Can someone tell me why this doesn't work?

import locale; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ""); for i in range(1,20,4): 
print(locale.format("%2f", i, 1))

It gives an error: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (highlighting the word 'for')

I need this code on one and the same line.
However when I separate them it works fine:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
for i in range(1,20,4):
    print(locale.format("%2f", i, 1))
