# pyenv
#   For a library or package, you might want to ignore these files since the code is
#   intended to run in multiple environments; otherwise, check them in:
# .python-version

# pipenv
#   According to pypa/pipenv#598, it is recommended to include Pipfile.lock in version control.
#   However, in case of collaboration, if having platform-specific dependencies or dependencies
#   having no cross-platform support, pipenv may install dependencies that don't work, or not
#   install all needed dependencies.
#Pipfile.lock

# poetry
#   Similar to Pipfile.lock, it is generally recommended to include poetry.lock in version control.
#   This is especially recommended for binary packages to ensure reproducibility, and is more
#   commonly ignored for libraries.
#   https://python-poetry.org/docs/basic-usage/#commit-your-poetrylock-file-to-version-control
#poetry.lock

# pdm
#   Similar to Pipfile.lock, it is generally recommended to include pdm.lock in version control.
#pdm.lock
#   pdm stores project-wide configurations in .pdm.toml, but it is recommended to not include it
#   in version control.

Common Python .gitignore Issues

__pycache__ Still Being Tracked

If __pycache__ folders are still showing up in git status, this is a common issue. See our troubleshooting guide for more solutions:

git rm -r --cached __pycache__
git commit -m "Remove pycache from tracking"

Virtual Environment Being Tracked

Never commit your virtual environment. This is covered in our FAQ section. Add this to .gitignore:

venv/
.venv/
env/
ENV/

Secret Keys in .env Files

Always ignore environment files containing secrets. Learn more in our FAQ about .env files:

.env
.env.local
.env.production
config.py # if it contains secrets
