To get the number of lines, you can just use text_buffer.get_line_count(). Also, the paint_layout line should be:

Gtk.render_layout(text_view.get_style_context(), cairoc, 2, y, layout)

window.clear() also doesn't work and needs to be removed.

And, line 12 uses the lowercase pango instead of the first letter being capitalized (Pango).

I'm a bit late to respond, I haven't apparently gotten notifications of comments. Anyway, this was some half-ported code while struggling to port to PyGI while marred by PyGI and Python 3 packaging bugs in Debian. All is well for me since and, while it's not far off, I hope no one considers this a tutorial.

Hi

do you have a working solution to add line numbers to a Gtk.TextView?

I found a solution to display lines number in gtk3

#!/usr/bin/env python
# coding: utf-8 
from gi.repository import Gtk,Gdk
from gi.repository import Pango


def recup_lignes(textbuffer,premier_y, dernier_y, coords_buffer, numeros):
    # On recupere l'iterateur du premier y.
    iter, top = textbuffer.get_line_at_y(premier_y)

    # On recupere la position de chaque iterateur et on l'ajoute 
    # a la liste. On s'arrete apres dernier_y.
    nombre,taille = 0,0
    while not iter.is_end():
        y, hauteur = textbuffer.get_line_yrange(iter)
        coords_buffer.append(y)
        num_ligne = iter.get_line()
        numeros.append(num_ligne)
        nombre += 1
        # suite nouvelle étude je le remet
        if (y + hauteur) >= dernier_y:
            break        
        iter.forward_line()
    return nombre

def on_text_view_draw(text_view, cairo_context):
    text_buffer = text_view.get_buffer()
    start,end = text_buffer.get_bounds()
    text = text_buffer.get_text(start,end,False)

    nlines = text.count("\n") + 1


    #collect size of visible part of window
    rectangle_visible = text_view.get_visible_rect()
    premier_y = rectangle_visible.y
    dernier_y = premier_y +rectangle_visible.height 

    # collect numeros & pixels to be display 
    numeros = []
    pixels = []    
    nombre = recup_lignes(text_view,premier_y, dernier_y, pixels, numeros)
    # Affichage de numéros internationalises !
    layout = text_view.create_pango_layout("")

    pos_horizontal = 2
    for i in range(nombre):
        x, pos = text_view.buffer_to_window_coords(Gtk.TextWindowType.RIGHT, 0, pixels[i])
        chaine = "<span weight='bold' foreground='red'>%d </span>" % numeros[i]
        layout.set_markup(chaine,len(chaine))
        # met les numeros dans la zone texte
        Gtk.render_layout(text_view.get_style_context(), cairo_context, pos_horizontal, pos, layout)

Gtk 3 - Doesn't work. No numbers.
