Pants

Huh. So turns out with our `pants_run` integration tests, we're not by default putting `__pycache__` / `.pyc` files in `pants_ignore`. Which means our file watcher is invalidating on wayyy more than we want. I suspect it explains why our ITs are so slow

Does it seem fine to put `__pycache__` in our default `pants_ignore`? Note that usually users have it already covered in their `.gitignore` tho

Alternatively, I can improve our `run_pants` integration test to auto-set it

&gt; Which means our file watcher is invalidating on wayyy more than we want.
Which is because we run Pants via `python -m pants`, with all our `src/python/pants` files present, which causes those files to get compiled

it shouldn’t matter, since those files are written before the process starts up

those would likely be reasonable defaults in `pants_ignore`.

just as `pants_ignore` default, not special-cased to be hardcoded no matter what, right?
