1 """A wrapper to show line numbers for Tkinter Text widgets.
   2 
   3 Features:
   4 
   5  - Line numbers are displayed in a seperate Text widget.
   6   
   7  - Line number display is entirely automatic.
   8   
   9  - Text in the main Text widget can be manipulated normally,
  10    without regard to line numbers.
  11 
  12  - Line numbers are displayed correctly for wrapped lines.
  13   
  14 Drawbacks:
  15 
  16  - The height of each line in the main Text widget must all
  17    be the same.
  18 
  19  - The height of the lines in the line number display Text
  20    widget must be the same as for the main Text widget.
  21 
  22  - There is a slight delay in line numbers catching up with reality.
  23    This is most noticable when fast scrolling is taking place.
