Reasons for making this change

LangGraph's langgraph dev command stores checkpointing and memory data in a .langgraph_api directory in the current working directory. These files are local runtime artifacts and should not be committed to source control.

This change is intentionally small and limited to the Python template.

Appreciate the contribution, but we already have a LangChain.gitignore template over here that covers this: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/LangChain.gitignore

Rather than add this to the more specific Python template, I'd ask that you pull the LangChain.gitignore template into your Python projects instead. That way we are not maintaining two templates for the same set of tools 👍

Going to close this out 🙇
