I want to launch a component into an existing container. Can anybody help me with this error?

As far as I can see, my code is identical with image_pipeline/stereo_image_proc/launch/stereo_image_proc.launch.py , which uses LoadComposableNodes too. However, the foxy branch does not contain this action anymore. Is it maybe deprecated in foxy? Is there an alternative?

When I run a container in bash#0 with

ros2 run rclcpp_components component_container

and then execute the following launch file in bash#1:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import launch
import launch.actions
import launch.substitutions
from launch_ros.descriptions import ComposableNode
from launch_ros.actions import LoadComposableNodes

def generate_launch_description():
    ld = launch.LaunchDescription()
    comp_node = ComposableNode(
                package="composition",
                plugin="composition::Talker",
                name='compose_name',
                namespace='compose_namespace',
                parameters=[],
                remappings=[],
            )

    load_component = LoadComposableNodes(
        composable_node_descriptions=[comp_node],
        target_container='/ComponentManager'),

    ld.add_action(load_component)
    return ld

I get the following error:

In fact, you made a mistake in your code.

load_component = LoadComposableNodes(
    composable_node_descriptions=[comp_node],
    target_container='/ComponentManager'),

The code block makes your interpreter assume that load_component is a tuple type variable

I keep hitting similar error message (in a lot of my cases it's list instead tuple as in OP though) so leaving a comment; Something is complaining the format is not right, but the err msg unfortunately doesn't make it clear. At minimum better to improve the err msg (will file a ticket once I have time but if anyone else can do that that's awesome).
