Always use comma, never use semicolon.

A comma is used to separate arguments in function calls
f(a, b, c)

And in multiple variable assignment:
a, b, c, = 1, 2, 3

And in multiple returns:
return a, b, c, f(a, b, c)

A semicolon is used at the end of statements, but it's entirely 
optional.  Almost no-one uses it routinely.
