[Python] How can I put multiple statements in one line?

I know a little bit of comprehensions in Python, but they seem very hard to 'read'. The way I see it, a comprehension might accomplish the same as the following code:

for i in range(10): if i == 9: print('i equals 9')


This code is much easier to read than how comprehensions currently work, but I've noticed you can’t have two :s in one line. This brings me to:

Is there a way I can get the following example into one line?

try:
if sam[0] != 'harry':
print('hello', sam)
except:
pass


Something like this would be great:

try: if sam[0] != 'harry': print('hellp', sam)
exceptass


But again I encounter the conflicting :s.

I'd also love to know if there's a way to run try (or something like it) without except. It seems entirely pointless that I need to put exceptass in there. It’s a wasted line.
