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?
