[Python] Bundling Jinja2 temlate with UV

I am trying to include jinja2 templates within my uv build but it does not seem to work. My directory structure is as follows.

project/
├── src/
│ ├── mypackage/
│ └──── j2/ (all templates live here)

└── pyproject.toml


Following is my py project toml

[project]
name = "dojipipeline"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "Add your description here"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = [
"groq>=0.16.0",
"jinja2>=3.1.5",
"pydantic>=2.10.6",
"python-dotenv>=1.0.1",
"pyyaml>=6.0.2",
]


My work around is to capture all the j2 as doc_string in .py file like below and import it

#j2_template.py
GENERATE_DATA_MODEL = """

{ % for task in tasks % }
{{ task }}
{ % endfor % }
===========================
{% if contexts %}
Following are the contexts for the tasks:
{% for context in contexts %}
{{ context }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

The required responses must be in JSON format.
"response": {
"data": {{ data_shema }}
"thoughts": List of thoughts
}

Generate a valid data object and explain your thought process.
Answer only with json and do not include any other information.
"""
