Python doit dynamic actions

I am using Python doit and would like to dynamically generate actions. The following code creates a list of commands that I would like doit to execute:

dirs = ['a','b','c']

def task_build():

    def create_cmd_string(directories=dirs):
        cmds = []
        for dir in directories:
            cmds.append(f"rsync -a {dir} ../package")
        return cmds

    return {
        'actions': [
            "mkdir -p ../package",
            create_cmd_string,
        ],
        'verbosity': 2,
    }

The only issue is that doit only runs the first element in the list:

"rsync -a a ../package"

And I would like it to do the following:

"rsync -a a ../package"
"rsync -a b ../package"
"rsync -a c ../package"

I have tried using CmdAction and passing in different data types but neither of these methods worked. I'm thinking the next solution would be to create dynamic subtasks but feel like I am missing something.

It seems your problem is that you are adding a list inside another list. Try:

'actions': ["mkdir -p ../package"] + create_cmd_string,
