I suddenly saw this marking next to one of the files in my Python project working on PyCharm. What does it mean?
I didn't get any tooltip when hovering over this icon to tell me what it meant, nor did I find any reference to it in a Google search.

The .py file is greyed out and marked with an X in the Project View because you chose the option "Mark as Plain Text". You can reverse it by choosing "Mark as 'Python'". Both options are available by right-clicking on the file in Project View.
Marking dynamically generated files as excluded can speed up the indexing and overall IDE performance. Excluded files remain a part of a project, but are ignored by code completion, navigation, indexing, and inspections.
