Great to see it committed. Thanks for finishing it off. I knew the patch wasn't 100% ready but as the idea turned out to be relatively simple to implement thought it was worth trying to get it going.

Our conversion of LinkChecker to Python 3 proceeds slowly. I suspect you will have a new release out before we do. In the meantime it's easy to point Travis CI at an updated copy so we can keep developing. Having line numbers means we don't need to throw existing code away or reduce what the user sees (and of course being able to just replace the old parser so easily does help the conversion - and reduce the maintenance in the future).

Naming is always a challenge, the changes only meant editing two lines of LinkChecker code and one line of a test, we are running against the new revision.
