Description

In R Shiny, there are built in controls for selecting a row in a table output. The row index (of the row selected) can be used as an input to trigger other events. How can this functionality (user selected rows on a table) be used in Python Shiny version? Any example would be excellent. thanks in advance

Research direction

Start by reading the linked R DT Section 2.1.1 Row Selection documentation and then inspect the Python Shiny table-output and reactive-input APIs. Confirm how a selected row can trigger another event, and consider the work complete when a clear Python Shiny example documents and demonstrates that behavior.
