Using Secrets within Profiles

I am attempting to use Kubernetes secrets as Env variables within a user pod. I am overwriting various items, for my pod profiles with kubespawner_override. I would like to be able to pull in secrets (specific to pod type selection) and set them as environment variables. Currently I am attempting to do this by utilizing the “modify_pod_hook” key, but I receive the following error:

traitlets.traitlets.TraitError: The 'modify_pod_hook' trait of a KubeSpawner instance must be a callable, but a value of "def modify_pod_hook(spawner, pod):\n  from kubernetes import client\n  print(pod.spec.containers[0])\n  pod.spec.containers[0].env.append(\n      client.V1EnvVar(\n          name='SECRET_STUFF', \n          value_from=client.V1EnvVarSource(\n              secret_key_ref=client.V1SecretKeySelector(\n                  name='aws-credentials',\n                  key=SECRET_STUFF',\n              )\n          )\n      )\n  )\n  return pod\n" <class 'str'> was specified.

Here is the config I am trying to use:

profileList:
    - display_name: "Some Container Type"
      allowed_groups: ["jhub-admins"]
      description: "Light weight user container - 1 CPU 1GB Memory"
      kubespawner_override:
        modify_pod_hook: |
           def modify_pod_hook(spawner, pod):
            from kubernetes import client
            print(pod.spec.containers[0])
            pod.spec.containers[0].env.append(
                client.V1EnvVar(
                    name='SECRET_STUFF', 
                    value_from=client.V1EnvVarSource(
                        secret_key_ref=client.V1SecretKeySelector(
                            name='aws-credentials',
                            key='SECRET_STUFF',
                        )
                    )
                )
            )
            return pod

Has anyone attempted to do this from within the profileList? I was able to do it successfully at the hub level under extraConfig, but have been running into roadblocks when trying to do it at the singleUser level.
