Very little. Putting the semicolon makes you look like a C programmer
who's new to Python; omitting it makes you look like you actually
understand Python :)

As a C and C++ programmer myself, I know where you're coming from, but
putting semicolons at the ends of Python statements is as useless as
putting ((((lots of (((irritating (((superfluous
(((parentheses))))))))))))) in your C++ code. The parser won't mind,
but subsequent programmers will wonder what these unnecessary
syntactic elements are for.
