6. Simple statements 
</H1>

<P>
Simple statements are comprised within a single logical line.
Several simple statements may occur on a single line separated
by semicolons.  The syntax for simple statements is:

<P>
<dl><dd><pre class=verbatim>
simple_stmt:    expression_stmt
              | assert_stmt
              | assignment_stmt
              | pass_stmt
              | del_stmt
              | print_stmt
              | return_stmt
              | raise_stmt
              | break_stmt
              | continue_stmt
              | import_stmt
              | global_stmt
              | exec_stmt
</pre></dl>
