[issue17535] IDLE: Add an option to show line numbers along the left side of the editor window, and have it enabled by default.

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

FWIW, I don't think line numbers should be "enabled by default" for IDLE or any other editor.  It isn't the norm and can be distracting.  If you've ever tried to use IDLE to teach kids, you would value minimizing visual distractions.
