That's been valid Python syntax for ages. The first python version I
used was 1.3 and I don't think I ever used a Python version that didn't
support semicolons as optional statement terminators. In fact,
Misc/HISTORY reveals that this was introduced in 0.9.2.

It's got nothing to do with exec in particular, BTW. It's a standard
feature of the Python syntax.
