You mock. (As far as I remember you are always opposed to new language
features/changes.)
But the proposal would give people the choice of
Saving a level of indentation at the cost of having two
suite-introductions on the same line.
Keeping the two suit-introductions on separate lines (as now) at
the cost of an extra level of indentation.
Sometimes one will be better, sometimes the other. Usually the choice
will be a subjective one. That's no reason not to have the choice.
Of course, this has to be weighed against the cost of the change.

Let's just keep Python readable rather than see how much we can cram
on a line.

But what if python lifted the newline requirement for blocks that
contain
compound statements? That is, statements that end in a ':' can be
followed by
other statements that end in a ':' on the same line. AFAICT there
would be no
ambiguity (to the parser; to humans, depends). Doing so would add
the OPs
requested feature, though it would be two statements on one line
with one extra
character. It would also essentially bring the full comprehension
syntax to for
loops since fors and ifs could be chained arbitrarily.
# for..if
for x in y: if x in c:
some_op(x
# nested generator-like for
for line in doc: for word in line.split():
spellcheck(word)
# side effect one-liner
for item in an_iterable: if condition(item): side_effect(item))
