Builder properties requiring lists of lists don't seem to work

See original GitHub issue

packerlicious version

0.5.0

Expected behavior

When dealing with fields that take a list of lists, I expected to be able to to enter something like:

template.add_builder(
    builder.VirtualboxIso(
        boot_wait="10s",
        guest_os_type="Ubuntu_64",
        http_directory=HTTP_DIR,
        iso_url=ISO_URL,
        iso_checksum_type=ISO_CHECKSUM_TYPE,
        iso_checksum=ISO_CHECKSUM,
        ssh_port=22,
        shutdown_command=f'echo {ssh_pass} | sudo -S shutdown -P now',
        guest_additions_path="VBoxGuestAdditions_{{.Version}}.iso",
        virtualbox_version_file=".vbox_version",
        vm_name=VM_NAME,
        vboxmanage=[['modifyvm {{.Name}} --memory 1024'], ['modifyvm {{.Name}} --cpus 1']]
    )
)

to work. It did not.

Actual behavior

  File "pack.py", line 56, in <module>
    vboxmanage=[['modifyvm name --memory 1024'], ['modifyvm name --cpus 1']]
  File "/Users/emmanuel/5thcolumn/projects/poc/packerlicious/venv-poc-packerlicious/lib/python3.6/site-packages/packerlicious/builder.py", line 73, in __init__
    super(PackerBuilder, self).__init__(title, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/emmanuel/5thcolumn/projects/poc/packerlicious/venv-poc-packerlicious/lib/python3.6/site-packages/packerlicious/builder.py", line 67, in __init__
    super(PackerCommunicator, self).__init__(title, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/emmanuel/5thcolumn/projects/poc/packerlicious/venv-poc-packerlicious/lib/python3.6/site-packages/thirdparty/troposphere/__init__.py", line 97, in __init__
    self.__setattr__(k, v)
  File "/Users/emmanuel/5thcolumn/projects/poc/packerlicious/venv-poc-packerlicious/lib/python3.6/site-packages/thirdparty/troposphere/__init__.py", line 165, in __setattr__
    if not isinstance(v, tuple(expected_type)) \
TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a type or tuple of types

Steps to reproduce

from packerlicious import builder, provisioner, Template
template = Template()
#  add VirtualboxIso builder as shown above
