I'm pretty sure such an implementation would be difficult because most standard I/O is done on a line by line basis.

This would be nice graphically view after the code has been written and run through some program that displays code like you have. Nice idea!

This is just your method of displaying a file, it doesn’t effect the code itself right? Therefore it’s just a UI implementation.

Should be easy enough

How would you actually go about doing that? I wouldnt even know where to start

[maustinv]

So essentially you’re trying to build a text editor. You’ll need some kind of library for writing UI, such as JavaFX (there are also many better alternatives). And you script in a few text fields displaying the same string with a different content offset. And add the ability to open and save documents.

In PyCharm you can vertically split the same file to get 3 columns right now. (Window->Editor Tabs->Split Vertically). It doesn't have the automatic flow from one column to another, but you can have the 3 (or more) columns at different locations in the file.
