[Python-Dev] Why does PEP 7/8 explicitly suggest 2 spaces after a period?

[Brett Cannon]

Is there a specific reason for calling out two spaces in comments after a
period(I realize it's probably for consistency, but I sure don't ever think
about this when I write comment)? Otherwise who actually still writes using
two spaces after punctuation? :)
