How can I put multiple statements in one line?

by

Unfortunately, what you want is not possible with Python (which makes Python close to useless for command-line one-liner programs). Even explicit use of parentheses does not avoid the syntax exception. You can get away with a sequence of simple statements, separated by semi-colon:

for i in range(10): print "foo"; print "bar"

But as soon as you add a construct that introduces an indented block (like if), you need the line break. Also,

for i in range(10): print "i equals 9" if i==9 else None

is legal and might approximate what you want.

As for the try ... except thing: It would be totally useless without the except. try says “I want to run this code, but it might throw an exception”. If you don’t care about the exception, leave away the try. But as soon as you put it in, you’re saying “I want to handle a potential exception”. The pass then says you wish to not handle it specifically. But that means your code will continue running, which it wouldn’t otherwise.
