How To Package Your Python Code

Adding spaces to make things line up is proscribed by the Python Style Guide. Which is entirely optional, but many people follow it.

I'm so glad Go removes these sort of nitpicky style problems with gofmt. At first I was bothered by how gofmt makes things line up like this, but now I prefer no style guide and a tool that formats stuff for you.

Python has a tool (aptly named "pep8") which provides similar functionality. It doesn't make the changes for you, but it's very specific about what you need to fix to comply with the style guide.

Autopep8 makes the changes for you.
