Description

Trying to deploy to shinyapps.io and noticed that rsconnect-python is including the .pyc files from local.

Tried adding "-x '**/*.pyc'" to the command but rsc-p continues to upload/deploy the .pyc files.

Tried adding "-x **/pycache/" --> no effect.

Tried "-x *.pyc" --> no effect. I expect this glob to only find files in the working directory anyway.

Expected:
Either **/*.pyc OR *.pyc should exclude all .pyc files through all subdirectories. Though I would prefer the first glob!

Worst case, **/pycache/ should exclude all pycache sub-directories below current directory.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start at the CLI implementation that handles the deploy exclude option and trace how -x glob patterns are matched; reproduce the three patterns from the issue. Done means recursive .pyc files and pycache directories are excluded during deployment, with coverage for the supported behavior.
