Adds .python-version to .gitignore.

Interesting. Where does this one appear?

patrickeganfoley commented 6 years ago

It will show up anywhere you specify a local python version.

cd
brew install pyenv
pyenv install -l       # lists available versions of python you can install
pyenv install 3.8-dev
pyenv install 2.7.14
pyenv global 3.8.-dev   #  you are now using 3.8

cd edward
pyenv local 2.7.14        
pyenv version

The pyenv local line creates edward/.python-version which sets you up to use 2.7.14 in that folder.

It makes it super easy to manage multiple python installations.

Got it. Let's defer on merging it to master. At the moment, .gitignore is a mess. In the future, we should probably have it mimick another repo like TensorFlow's.
