Nothing in Python assumes anything about fonts. That's all a function of
the text editor you use and your editing preferences. Me, I find it easier
to read code which is displayed or printed with monospaced fonts. Note,
however, that I've been programming for 30 years. I started with IBM punch
cards, so I might be a bit biased.
