is a directory with multiple sources (static and dynamic)::

inventory_ignore_extensions = ~, .orig, .bak, .ini, .cfg, .retry, .pyc, .pyo

This option can be overridden by setting ``ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_IGNORE``
environment variable.

In an inventory directory, executable files will be treated as dynamic inventory sources and most other files as static sources. Files which end with any of the following will be ignored::

~, .orig, .bak, .ini, .retry, .pyc, .pyo
~, .orig, .bak, .ini, .cfg, .retry, .pyc, .pyo

You can replace this list with your own selection by configuring an ``inventory_ignore_extensions`` list in ansible.cfg, or setting the ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_IGNORE environment variable. The value in either case should be a comma-separated list of patterns, as shown above.
