Category Specific Full Width display

Hi,
My page is local.
I have a post category of scripting, for which I am using a code block to display some code. The code is written in python, and therefore has a lot of indentation, and so requires a wide content area.
I am looking to make a child theme probably – but I just wondered if you had a view on the best method of making any post that is part of the Script category show with a full width content area rather than with a side bar.
Thanks, Andrew
