It'd be nice of __pycache__ directories didn't pollute backups. Granted, one can add __pycache__ directory to their backup-tool-of-choice exclusion list, but those lists are ever growing and maybe it'd be good to help the tools and the users. There's a Cache Directory Tagging Specification[1] which some backup tools like Borg, restic, GNU Tar and attic use out of the box (well, with a switch) and other tools (like rsync, Bacula, rdiff-backup and I imagine others) can be made to use it with a generic exclude-directories-with-this-file-present option (partially, just the existence of the tag file is used, not its content). I wasn't sure what to select in Components, so I went with Library. [1] https://bford.info/cachedir/ |

To spoil it for other readers: the linked page says to create a file named CACHEDIR.TAG with a specific first line. |
