Can't think of a particularly good alignment viewer in python.

If you are more interested in result rather than doing it in python, there are many options. For example, you can paste your alignment into this form to get a quick result:

Another option is to download Jalview, which is Java-driven and should work on any computer. It is GUI-based and will let you customize the output.

You should also be able to import the alignment into MEGA for display.
