Python: send arguments to function in dictionary

Is it possible to pass arguments to a function within a dictionary?

d = {"A": foo(), "B": bar()}

def foo(arg):
    return arg + 1

def bar(arg):
    return arg - 1

In this case I want to pass arg to bar() by referencing the function dynamically

d["B"]  #<-- pass arg to bar()

It's possible, but you have to refer to the function (e.g. foo) without already calling it (e.g. foo()).

def foo(arg):
    return arg + 1

def bar(arg):
    return arg - 1

d = {"A": foo, "B": bar}

Result:

>>> d['A'](5)
