Just return to the previous indent level.

For instance:

if test:
    line1
    line2
    line3
line4

Lines 1-3 will be executed inside the if clause, and line4 follws it.

Python's logical blocks are delimited by indentation.

Either.

You may place multiple statements on one line and delimit them with a
semicolon.
