Description

Putting Jinja2 in a requirements.txt file, as suggested e.g. here, doesn't seem to be enough for the shinylive CLI tool to actually bundle the Jinja2 wheel in the output dir. But if I explicitly import jinja2 in app.py, the wheel gets included and rendering tables works.

Is this intentional? If so, it should probably be documented?

As an aside, thank you for bringing Shiny to Python in great style!

Research direction

Start with the shinylive CLI flow using the requirements.txt and app.py examples described in the issue, and reproduce the difference between declaring Jinja2 and importing it. Determine whether this behavior is intentional; done means either Jinja2 is bundled from requirements.txt or the expected import requirement is clearly documented.
