This seems to work pretty well:

#Ignore the build directory (and its sub-directories):
build
#Ignore backup files from some Unix editors,
*~
#Ignore all compiled python files (e.g. from running the unit tests):
*.pyc
#The graphics unit tests produce output files for human inspection
#(at the time of writing, only PDF files are created but I expect
#this to change).
Tests/Graphics/*.pdf
Tests/Graphics/*.eps
Tests/Graphics/*.svg
Tests/Graphics/*.png

I've uploaded this as part of one of my test branches on github,
