I am using the following code to typeset Python
```
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{exsheets}
\usepackage{exsheets-listings}
\SetupExSheets{
headings = block-subtitle ,
subtitle-format = \bfseries % default is \itshape
}
\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\DeclareMathOperator{\var}{var}
\DeclareMathOperator{\E}{\mathbb{E}}
\SetupExSheets{solution/print=true}
\SetupExSheets{question/type=exam}
\SetupExSheets[points]{name=point,name-plural=points}
% Default fixed font does not support bold face
\DeclareFixedFont{\ttb}{T1}{txtt}{bx}{n}{12} % for bold
\DeclareFixedFont{\ttm}{T1}{txtt}{m}{n}{12} % for normal
% Custom colors
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{deepblue}{rgb}{0,0,0.5}
\definecolor{deepred}{rgb}{0.6,0,0}
\definecolor{deepgreen}{rgb}{0,0.5,0}
\usepackage{listings}
% Python style for highlighting
\lstdefinestyle{mypython}{%
language=Python,
basicstyle=\ttm,
otherkeywords={self}, % Add keywords here
keywordstyle=\ttb\color{deepblue},
emph={MyClass,__init__}, % Custom highlighting
emphstyle=\ttb\color{deepred}, % Custom highlighting style
stringstyle=\color{deepgreen},
frame=tb, % Any extra options here
showstringspaces=false %
}
% Python environment
\lstnewenvironment{python}[1][]
{
\lstset{style=mypython,#1}
}
{}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstquestion}[%
pre=Do something,
listings={style={mypython}}
]
# Some interesting comments that are enlightening.
print("Hello world!")
\end{lstquestion}
\end{document}
```
I don't like the way to comments look. The font is in italics and the letters are spread too far apart. It looks like it is a math formula or similar rather than comments in Englsh. What is the right way to do this?

You can adjust the style of the comments via `commentstyle={...}`. Which font style you use is really just a matter of taste. For my own projects I normally use `\slshape`, this looks less mathy than real italics but is still easily distinguishable from the surrounding font.
The space between the letters depends on your `column` style. If you don't want the letters to be shown in a regular grid (which will mean larger spaces for some characters), you can try `columns=fullflexible`.
