Reasons for making this change
This change adds
.cursorignoreand.cursorindexingignoreto Python.gitignore because:Security Protection
These files commonly contain references to sensitive paths (
.env,config/secrets/, local debug files) that should never be committed. Unlike.gitignore, they're designed for editor-specific exclusions.Editor Ecosystem Standard
Cursor (an AI-powered editor growing in Python development) follows VS Code's ignore handling paradigm. We already ignore similar editor files (
.vscode/,.idea/).Dual-Purpose Ignore Files
