Add values from existing values, Python Dictionary

I have to initialize a simple python dictionary as shown below:

dictionary = {
               'a':'dftyj',
               'b':'dftyj'+'__29July2021'
          }

As you see dictionary['b'] is nothing but dictionary['a'] + random string. I was wondering if I could use any sort of pointer to get value from the already existing properties of the dictionary?

That is not possible to do while you're creating the dictionary. You have to first create a dictionary and then get something out of it.

dictionary = {}
dictionary['a'] = 'dftyj'
dictionary['b'] = dictionary['a'] + '__29July2021'
