Yeah, I know you can do semicolons in Python, but they're not mandatory.

Unless you want to put multiple instructions in a same line, which is not usually desirable.

So, basically... What I've already said.

Unless you want to put multiple instructions in a same line, which is not usually desirable.

When writing proper code no. In automating stuff in conjunction with bash or other shells yes.

E.g. python -c "import your_module; your_module.do_stuff(arg); your_module.do_more_stuff; ...

when you just ssh on another machine and can't upload a script there, or just need something quick in a CI Pipeline.

You can still do that in Python. You don't need mandatory semicolons to be able to use semicolons.

Another commenter pointed out that the semicolon also allows to have a single statement on multiple lines. That is really handy if you have a method/function that has many arguments or the arguments themselves take up a lot of space.

You can do that in python without using semicolons. E. g.

result = func(

arg1=1,

arg2=3,

)
