You could hide the evaluation inside a lambda:

message = { 'create': lambda: msg(some_data),
            'update': lambda: msg(other_data),
          }
return message[type]()

As long as the names are all defined (so you don’t get a NameError), you could also structure it like this:

message = { 'create': (msg, some_data),
            'update': (other_func, other_data),
          }
func, arg = message[type]
return func(arg)
