Update VirtualEnv.gitignore

[lpalgarvio]

Reasons for making this change

Add extra rules

Links to documentation supporting these rule changes

• .venv -> .venv/ to denote its a directory
• venv/ is also typical, when users prefer to keep the directory visible
• .python-version is a file that defines which python version (or environment in case of using pyenv), ie https://pydevtools.com/handbook/explanation/what-is-a-python-version-file/

Comments

I think these entries should not be here:

• .Python: looks more of distribution/packaging and present on https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Global/VirtualEnv.gitignore and i dont think it has anything to do with virtual envs
• [Bb]in, [Ii]nclude, [Ll]ib, [Ll]ib64, [Ll]ocal, [Ss]cripts: this does not seem to have anything to do with python's virtualenv spec. some of these entries might actually conflict with code in projects, ie, bin and scripts
• pip-selfcheck.json: not specific to python virtualenv, but rather python dependencies using pip

Perhaps some of them should be moved to https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Python.gitignore and some entirely removed

Just as a note, the docs explicitly say that you should commit .python-version to the repository:

Consider these guidelines when using .python-version files:

• Pin specific versions for reproducible development environments
• Commit to version control to ensure team consistency
• Align with project requirements - ensure the pinned version satisfies requires-python
• Update thoughtfully when upgrading Python versions across the project
