The semicolon is replaced with a new line character.  If it's too hard
to press the enter key instead of the semicolon and the enter key, then
that's your problem.  If you just want to make realy long one line code
that no one will be able to read and is bad form, then that's your
problem too.

Comments starting with the number sign:  I believe that was started much
before Python, and perhaps before C.  It's what is used in UNIX shell
scripts.
