I think they are not required, but recommended.

>From https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#comments:

   You should use two spaces after a sentence-ending period in multi- sentence 
comments, except after the final sentence.

>From https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0012/#general:

   You must adhere to the Emacs convention of adding two spaces at the end of 
every sentence.

AFAIK in English typography the space after a sentence-ending period is longer 
than spaces between words. In other European typographies they have the same 
width.
