updated gitignore to ignore files created by local python installation

[jameslamb]

I followed the instructions for building the Python package, and found that some of the files and directories produced are not covered by .gitignore. Would like to propose adding them.

[StrikerRUS]

I suppose VERSION.txt here is from local Python install too and can be moved under the same section.

[jameslamb]

sure that's fair. I can do that

[StrikerRUS]

Thanks!

[jameslamb]

fixed

[StrikerRUS]

Thanks!

Uggghhh! 410 Gone http error from Microsoft MPI tutorial...

[jameslamb]

ugh that's annoying. Should I try to find it and open another PR to fix the link? (assuming it moved and wasn't just totally removed)

[StrikerRUS]

Very often what is needed is just to wait (... and rerun the test :-) ). But I see 410 error for the first time!
Also, I'm not sure that there is a mirror for that blog post...

When I navigate to https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowshpc/2015/02/02/how-to-compile-and-run-a-simple-ms-mpi-program/ I see this in my browser (I did not View Source, this is literal text being returned and not rendered):

wild 😂

[StrikerRUS]

Hm, nothing happened, still 410...

OK, we can use cache: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:x17s3iYl3QkJ:https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowshpc/2015/02/02/how-to-compile-and-run-a-simple-ms-mpi-program/

Also ping @chivee and @guolinke for their opinions

[StrikerRUS]

Moreover, http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/mslr/ is 404 now.

[guolinke]

@StrikerRUS mslr is good now.
For msmpi tutorial, maybe we can use some video contents, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqzXhp5TxUY ?

[StrikerRUS]

@guolinke Hmm, interesting option! The only disadvantage I see is that you cannot copy-paste a code from a video. But since the code in the tutorial was represented as a screenshot, I think it's OK to provide a video.

[jameslamb]

just rebased to master now that #2065 was merged (thanks again @StrikerRUS )
