I'm trying to collect some of my default settings, and one thing I realized I don't have a standard for is .gitignore files. There's a great thread showing a good .gitignore for Visual Studio projects, but I don't see many recommendations for Python and related tools (PyGTK, Django).
So far, I have...
*.pyc
*.pyo
...for the compiled objects and...
build/
dist/
...for the setuptools output.
Are there best practices for .gitignore files, and where can I go for more about these best practices?
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.
