I resisted for many years, then somebody turned me on to it a few years ago and I've been addicted ever since. As for line numbers, for working alone, I don't see much point. But for any kind of interaction with other people, it's essential. It's just SO much easier to say, "line 417" as opposed to "OK, scroll up a couple more lines, no, no, not that far, go down a little. There!

By the time the two of you are on the same page about which line of code you're talking about, you will have forgotten what you wanted to say. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
