Some of these names relate to specific tools, others could be used by multiple tools. In particular, virtualenv, the most popular tool for creating Python environments, does not mandate any of these and venv/ or .venv are simply conventional. It is more readable to group all of these together.

[mkdocs](http://www.mkdocs.org/) is rising as an alternative to Sphinx for project's documentation. The default build command puts the generated documentation in a `site` directory at the root of the project which should be ignored.

Looks like Spyder 3.1 uses .spyproject folder to store workspace config

Ignore Sage's parsed files (*.sage.py) that are left after running a .Sage program.

As eggs/ directory, wheels directory may contain compiled wheels.

If anyone uses the ROPE refactoring library this is certainly necessary.

Contains private configuration. Equivalent to Django's local_settings.py.

Added missing wildcard to the `*,cover` coverage annotation.

Coverage creates annotation files by appending ",cover" (with a comma, not a period) to the filename.

When using `coverage -p` to get coverage for test runs in several environments coverage creates files on the form .coverage.hostname.timestamp.

coverage.py creates HTML reports in the htmlcov directory (this tool can also be used with coveralls.io)

# PyInstaller
#  Usually these files are written by a python script from a template
#  before PyInstaller builds the exe, so as to inject date/other infos
into it.

Rope (https://bitbucket.org/zjes/rope_py3k/overview) is a refactoring tool for Python. It creates temporary files in `.ropeproject` to cache data. These files should be ignored by default.

`.cache` is generated when unittests are run with py.test

This commit also alphabetizes the distribution/packaging section after
separating the directory entries from the file entries.  I left alone
a few entries that I'm not sure about (i.e. *.egg and the
"Mr Developer" section).
