global gitignore file for python code example

Example 1: python gitignore

*.pyc
__pycache__

Example 2: gitignore python

When using buildout I have following in .gitignore (along with *.pyo and *.pyc):

.installed.cfg
bin
develop-eggs
dist
downloads
eggs
parts
src/*.egg-info
lib
lib64

Also I tend to put .svn in since we use several SCM-s where I work.
