Not everyone's tools render the same source code the same way, which means that at least some part of readability depends on the tools people use. People who use screen readers rather than visual displays probably wonder why the rest of us can't tell our "l"s from our "1"s and our "O"s from our "0"s. If PEP8 is about readability, then it should dispell the myth that everyone perceives source code the same way through the same tools.
