Keep spaces before inline comments

[Bengt]

isort currently collapses spaces separating inline comments from import statements into one space.

When I write this:

import a  # useful library

isort removes one of the spaces:

diff [...]

-import a  # useful library
+import a # useful library

According to pep8, [i]nline comments should be separated by at least two spaces from the statement.

I think, isort should keep double spaces if they exist, to keep code adhering to pep8 valid. Perhaps isort should also introduce double spaces, if there is only one, to make the resulting code adhere to pep8.

Fixed in just released hotfix release version 3.6.1 - thanks for pointing this out! I've made it always follow the pep8 two space specification - as it should.

Works fine. Thanks for the fix.
