You mock. (As far as I remember you are always opposed to new language features/changes.)I really am shocked by how many people seem to have broken ENTER keys on their keyboards.
Let's just keep Python readable rather than see how much we can cram on a line.

have used it. However, I agree that the level of change a new statement type
brings to the language is probably too high for this feature.
But what if python lifted the newline requirement for blocks that contain
compound statements? That is, statements that end in a ':' can be followed by
other statements that end in a ':' on the same line. AFAICT there would be no
ambiguity (to the parser; to humans, depends). Doing so would add the OPs
requested feature, though it would be two statements on one line with one extra
character. It would also essentially bring the full comprehension syntax to for
loops since fors and ifs could be chained arbitrarily.
# for..if
for x in y: if x in c:
some_op(x
# nested generator-like for
for line in doc: for word in line.split():
spellcheck(word)
# side effect one-liner
for item in an_iterable: if condition(item): side_effect(item))
