You can pass a dictionary instead of keyword arguments. This is a standard
Python, and works in general, there's nothing specific about the Django
model creation routines here:
>>> a1 = 'name'
>>> a2 = 'description'
>>> d = { a1:'mike', a2:'Testing is always fun'}
>>> tf = TestFun(**d)
>>> tf.save()
>>> TestFun.objects.all()
[<TestFun: mike>]
>>> d[a1] = 'Sue'
>>> TestFun.objects.create(**d)
<TestFun: Sue>
>>> TestFun.objects.all()
[<TestFun: mike>, <TestFun: Sue>]
>>>
