; in Python
Python uses new-lines as statement delimiters. This is in contrast to many contemporary languages which use semi-colons to delimit statements. However, Python also allows to use semi-colons. A clause in Python, consists of a header and a suite. For example, the def clause, used for defining functions, will have 'def functionName():' as header while the statements constituting the functionBody will serve as the associated suite. You can put semi-colon delimited statements in suites to put multiple statements on the same line.
