#45954 — Source code as text/plain

I'd like to have the option to download the source code as text/plain from the docs.python.org pages.

For example: when I'm a docs page, such as:

http://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html

and I click the source code link I'm taken to a Mercurial page:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/string.py

but over there there's no way to get a clean text/plain version of the code because the line numbers are included.

A link to the text/plain version on that page would be nice!

The 'raw' link on the left spews the source as application/binary so
most likely your browser will download it instead of showing it. Which
is what you asked but if you wanted to view in browser sans the line
numbers, there doesn't seem to be a way.
