The problem is that in the feedback section for homework assignments, Canvas
 eliminates any leading space characters.  So, I might write:

if x == y:
     # do thing 1
else:
     # do thing 2

but when it gets posted and viewed by the student, it shows up as:

if x == y:
# do thing 1
else:
# do thing 2

Sounds like HTML display -- have you tried enclosing your snippets in <pre></pre> or 
<code></code> tags?

If that fails, are embedded spaces retained?  If so, maybe

.if x == y
.    # do thing 1
.else:
.    # do thing 2

That would make less work after copy pasting, at least.
