It seems like the simplest solution for this is to make a completely new file (module) containing nothing but the dictionary and this one function that uses it. Then you can import the function from the module wherever it is called without importing the dictionary. The thing I find curious is that apparently no other function is allowed to create or populate the dictionary in the first place. Is it practical to have the entire dictionary statically defined?
