[issue21981] Idle problem

[Thomas Kember]

New submission from Thomas Kember:

Hello Terry,

Thank you for your explanation of the bug in Idle. I know Idle has limitations, 
but it is quite adequate for the programming I want to do. I agree that when 
this error occurs there should only be a warning, so the user can decide what 
he wants to do about it. There is however one fault in Idle that would be good 
if it were fixed. That is, it does not show line numbers. Since errors all 
indicate the line number the error occured, having the line numbers on the 
listing would be very useful.

One other thing. Now the problem is solved but it is still showing status 
'open' on the problem site, how do I change the status?

Regards,

Thomas

Hello Eric V. Smith,

I reported only one bug and it has been fixed. I can't find out how I am to 
reset the status of it to closed.

Thomas, PLEASE stop quoting messages when you post by email. Use your mouse 
selection and delete key.

There is an open issue for adding lines numbers in the editor: #17535. It has a 
patch waiting for review.

The bug you reported has not been fixed. Silent Ghost showed you how to work 
around the problem. Other people have reported the the same problem before, and 
have been given the same workaround (delete the file), and the problem 
forgotten about until the next person runs into it.  This time the 'next 
person' was you. But the problem has never been fixed. There should not be a 
'next person'.  The issue should stay open until the bug is fixed (or I fine a 
duplicate open issue).

The headers are mostly for Python developers. After users make an initial 
report, they should usually leave them alone.
