Really? You wrote a program that printed out a different
program to the one you ran and that's what you wanted?
It doesn't do anything about creating a ToDo list.
It doesn't even bring you any closer to creating a ToDo list.

Now, if instead of just printing it you actually ran
the code you print it might actually get you somewhere
closer.

But at the moment your program is exactly equivalent to

print('Hello world')

except more verbose in its message.
