Programming *languages* don't -- I know of no (serious[1]) language that requires a monospaced font in order to work correctly. Even in Python, as long as you don't mix tabs and spaces, indentation still works since it's all at the beginning of a line. Certain *conventions* sometimes used by programmers might require it, but that's a different thing.
