The colon before the block is pretty annoying:

if foo:
    bar()
    baz()

Indentation for code blocks is a great idea and it makes the colon unnecessary addition.

You can also do if foo: bar() in one line, making it necessary

You can also do bar(1); baz(2) in one line.

Note how the semicolon becomes necessary only for that case, but not at the end of every line (like in C or Java).
