Bug description On Python 3.12+, PEP 701 tokenizes ; here as FSTRING_MIDDLE, where it is string content. Pylint reports it as an unnecessary statement terminator when the following implicitly concatenated string is on an explicit continuation line. demo.py: b = "value" a = f"{b};" \ "" Command used pylint --disable=all --enable=unnecessary-semicolon --rcfile=/dev/null demo.py Pylint output ************* Module demo demo.py:2:0: W0301: Unnecessary semicolon (unnecessary-semicolon) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Your code has been rated at 5.00/10 (previous run: 5.00/10, +0.00) Expected behavior No unnecessary-semicolon warning. The semicolon is part of the f-string literal, not a Python statement terminator.
