gh-91398: Remove IDLE shell sidebar padding

[BA-24]

I noticed there was a white bar to the left in my IDLE, it stuck out like a soar thumb since I have a custom dark theme. This was not an issue with earlier versions.

Changing this line of code solves this issue and leaves the color choices up to the user.

#89614, #91398

• Issue: IDLE: Remove annoying line in Shell sidebar #91398

This only affects the shell sidebar, which is the subject of bpo-45451. I made the change I requested.

On my Windows with dark theme, I prefer the change. But change needs evaluation on light and dark themes on all 3 major OSes. Will ask OP of issue for opinion. So not approved yet.

@ambv This should be linked to the new GH issue when available. I overwrote the proposed change and will add blurb before merging.

This missed the boat for inclusion in Python 3.9 which accepts security fixes only as of today.

I don't believe that this is needed for 3.9. It is certainly more of an issue for 3.10+.

There is a new CI button that requires CLA be signed, even for something trivial that should not require it. Adding a possibly false CLA signed label does not seem to fix that. If no signature, any workaround other than making a new PR myself?

That's my bad. I messed up the CLA thing, and, long story short, I ended up making a new identical issue on the bugs.python.org thing that can be found here

[ambv]

@BA-24 could you try signing the CLA again? This should work now.

[BA-24]

Should be signed now

Hey, just updated to 3.11, is this getting merged or will I have to keep modifying the file manually?

CI is failing because the news item is missing.

[terryjreedy]

I am still planning to look at this soon.

As far as I'm concerned it's a typo and does not need a news entry.

[BA-24]

Hey, just updated to 3.12 and it seems this change still hasn't gone through. Updates?

@terryjreedy Just a little reminder :) Is it possible for you to run all the actions (I do not have the permissions to do this) so we can see the current state of the PR?

[StanFromIreland]

@terryjreedy you asked for previews on major oss, here is Linux.

I think this looks great!

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.
