I don't think PEP 8 approves anyway of doing the kind of column
alignment that this (or for that matter proportional fonts) would break.
One example is specifically called out as a "pet peeve".

Of course, it also doesn't exactly approve of non-ASCII identifiers (PEP
3131 specifically forbids them in the standard library).
