Don't display .pyc files in the Xcode 4 project navigator

I'm working on a fairly large django-project in Xcode 4. I prefer not to see all the automatically generated .pyc files in the project navigator.

Does anyone know a way to hide the .pyc files from the interface?

I don't necessarily want to remove them from disk.

Thanks.

What fails:

1. Checking "Show only files with source-control status" hides all files except the .pyc files... If only there is a way to invert this selection.
2. Showing files with matching name will also only give me a solution for solely showing the .pyc files. Typing ".py" also yields .pyc files...

The best I can come with is the way I do it: By dragging only the .py files into the XCode project at the start. It's not ideal; there should be a way to filter out build files. This method also isn't great for sub-folders, since you have to create each folder and then drag the .py files in for each folder by hand. But it works, and now I have no .pyc files in my project. Also, irritatingly, I can't delete .pyc files from the project once they're in there, so controlling things from the outset is the only solution I found.

given that this has not been answered directly here is an alternative solution using another programming software which is Coda 2.

You can create a rule that will hide those files, here is how to proceed :

• First open your preferences from the main menu
• Second go to the rules tab and create a new rule using the lower left "+" button
• Give the rule a name, such as "Python compiled Files"
• Select "Hide" from the right menu instead of "Skip"
• Edit the first rule as showed to apply it to files which "Name" ends with "pyc"
• Close the preferences pane and voilà, you are all set to keep being an efficient Coda user
