title: How to use gitignore wth pyc files
body: <p>In my .gitignore I have the below</p>
  
  <pre><code>/path/to/*.pyc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Yet pyc files are pushed.  I have tried the above to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>1) I did git rm of al my pyc files and committed.  The were removed from remote
  2) I just have *.pyc in the .gitignore</p>
  
  <p>Then after another commit the pyc files are back in my repo.</p>
  
  <pre><code>create mode 100644 bootops/classes/__init__.pyc
