+1,
(as long as the possibility of adding packages of ignore patterns
after init is kept of course)

Yes, but non-python programmers do not know what .pyc is, and will not
understand the presence of "*.pyc" in .bzrignore. Hence my
proposal ;-).

Since you're a python programmer, and assuming you use XYZ as an
editor, you'd want "bzr init --default python,XYZ", possibly aliased
to "bzr init".
