How to find current line number in QTextEdit?

[Nastya Medvedeva]

I need to get a position of a text cursor in QTextEdit counted in number of lines.
In the docs I can only see textCursor().position() function which counts it in characters.

I also found the QTextLayout class, with has lineForTextPosition() function, but i am not sure if it is what I am looking for, as according to help it serves purpose of putting text into widgets of various shapes and looks like huge overkill to my purposes.
