I don't think anyone should write code with variable width fonts,
The problem is that fixed pitch does not work well for even a half-way
complete unicode font and I don't know that there are any available. As
far as I know, my Windows 7 only came with one unicode font that Idle
finds. An advantage from my viewpoint is that spaces in this font are
narrower that the average character, making multiple-of-4 indents and
spaces around operators look pretty good to me.
Given that PEP8 generally disallows adding spaces to make things line
up, as in the following (a style I used to adhere to)
a = 134543344 # big number
bonge = 2 # short number
it seems to me consistent to use the multiple-of-4 hanging indent style
and not try to make things line up with an odd number of spaces in this
one special case.
