Python dict to variable with parameter

I have following dict that I reuse a lot in my code:

    data[day] = {
        "time": 0,
        "total": 0,
        "date": day,
    }

How can I make this dict a variable and reuse it. And set the day when by current day when running the dict.

DEFAULT = {
    'time': 0,
    'total': 0 
}

def get_my_dict(day):
    return {**DEFAULT, 'date': day}

use like:

data[day] = get_my_dict(day)

IIUC, you could use a function:

days = ['monday', 'tuesday']


def default(d):
    return {"time": 0, "total": 0, "date": d}


data = {}
for day in days:
    data[day] = default(day)

print(data)

Output

{'monday': {'time': 0, 'total': 0, 'date': 'monday'}, 'tuesday': {'time': 0, 'total': 0, 'date': 'tuesday'}}
