How to hide .pyc files when you enter `ls` in bash

When I perform ls in bash, I always see too many *.pyc files. Is there any way to hide these files?

This way lies the dark side, but you could force ls to never show them by adding something like

alias ls='ls --hide="*.pyc"'

to your .bashrc. ls will reveal the hidden files if you use -a or -A.

However, I would recommend just ignoring them in your head, or running this version of ls when you really don't want to see them.
