The cm is not a primary SI unit either.

But it is an SI unit.

(As a side note, humorous= ly when watching University Challenge today one of the semi-finalist teams = were unable to convert degrees fahrenheit to celsius. This just goes to sho= w that non-SI units are e=CC=B6v=CC=B6i=CC=B6l=CC=B6=C2=A0hard.)

Hint: Put your code in a bitmap for screens *and* a PDF for printing.=
That's the only way to guarantee that it'll work.

Since this is not possible, there is one solution left: Do not view
your code on screen, but only print it out. Then you can guarantee
that your columns are as you expected. Python could be enhanced to
take advantage of this; for instance, instead of requiring the hash
character (which may be difficult to type on certain keyboards,
including mobile phones), a letter C (U+0043) in column 1 can cause
the line to be considered a Comment.

Th= is is jmf. It'd have to be a Euro.=C2=A0
