Issue while adding label during jira ticket creation using Python

[Vivek Venkatesan]

I am trying to create a new jira issue using Python. I want to add label(s) - IMPORTED and TESTING to tickets, but the ticket creation fails as there is issue with the dictionary submitted to JIRA.

new_issues=[]
new_issue = {
    'project': {"key":"TEST JIRA"},
    'summary': 'Test Summary',
    'description': 'Test ticket created by Jira Integration'
}

if result == 'positive':
     new_issue['labels']: {[{"add": 'IMPORTED'}, {"add": 'TESTING'}]}
else:
 new_issue['labels']: {[{"add": 'IMPORTED'}]}


jira.create_issues(field_list=new_issues)

Error message:

unhashable type: 'list'

Please advise how to add labels to jira issue while creating one.
