We've talked with Ashley and she recommended not specifying a .python-version for the app since puppet or ansible sets one globally.
I've .gitignored the .python-version for now in the app directory because I plan to use it since it's a useful tool.
However, I think we should consider possibly adding it in the future if the developers are using pyenv for their installs because 1) it's very convenient to cd to the directory and have the correct version of python set up for running server and scripts and other stuff, 2) it makes the version of python people are using consistent for all develoeprs and obvious (though maybe there are other ways to do that).
