Bug report

Required Info:

• Operating System:
  • Ubuntu 20.04
• Installation type:
  • Binaries
• Version or commit hash:
  • humble
• DDS implementation:
  • N/A
• Client library (if applicable):
  • rclpy

Steps to reproduce issue

from ros2action.api import ActionTypeCompleter
completer = ActionTypeCompleter()
completer("", None)

Similarly

from ros2action.api import action_type_completer
action_type_completer()

Expected behavior

ActionTypeCompleter should be a callable that returns a list of actions available from packages if an action name is not passed in.

Actual behavior

A traceback occurs indicating the bug

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/ros/humble/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ros2action/api/__init__.py", line 92, in __call__
    return action_type_completer()
  File "/opt/ros/humble/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ros2action/api/__init__.py", line 78, in action_type_completer
    for package_name, action_names in get_action_interfaces.items():
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'items'

Or in the case it is used in a verb with tab-complete, no items are displayed.
