In theory, nothing.  In practice, all the real Python programmers will 
make fun of you.

Somewhat more seriously, every language has its own way of doing things.  
There's the set of things the language allows you to do, and the 
somewhat smaller set of things that have become accepted as the "proper" 
way to do things in that language.  For Python, putting semicolons at 
the ends of statements falls into the first set but not the second.
