Nope.
Using a semicolon would cause the expression to be syntactically
invalid, whereas using a pipe would make it an OR expression, which
CPython could parse and compile, but it would still be unable to
execute.
This means you can encapsulate FePy-specific functionality in classes or
functions that never get called from CPython, and provide alternative
functionality wrapped in a separate function or class, for when the
module is running on CPython.

In CPython, your example expression could even still be executed, f.e.
if List were a mapping, that contained a <type 'int'> key, whos value
was a list containing at least one item.
