When I ran pep8 over some python code it indicated that the offset
between code and comments on the same line should be at least two
whitespace characters.
Ref.:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#inline-comments


The attached patch allows for `comment-indent' to configure that offset,
that is currently hard-coded to one space, by introducing the new
variable `comment-inline-offset'.

The default behavior remains unchanged.
