Store formatted strings, pass in values later?

Question

I have a dictionary with a lot of strings.

Is it possible to store a formatted string with placeholders and pass in a actual values later?

I'm thinking of something like this:

d = {
  "message": f"Hi There, {0}"
}

print(d["message"].format("Dave"))

The above code obviously doesn't work but I'm looking for something similar.

You use f-string; it already interpolated 0 in there. You might want to remove f there

d = {
          # no f here
  "message": "Hi There, {0}"
}

print(d["message"].format("Dave"))

Hi There, Dave
