Sometimes, it is useful for a developer to create a local python code that should not be added to version control. Reserve a dev_*.py name pattern for such files by adding it to .gitignore. The intent is to run such code in a local debugger. Often such codes become the basis for additional unit tests (in which case, they should be converted to such and installed in the appropriate tests subdirectory).
