In that case map to a function which can return the value.
Use lambdas for the trivial cases:
'Title': lambda : fileData['title']
For 1-1 maps:
'Artist' : lambda : fileData['ART']
For more complex maps:
'Track' : lambda : flieData['TRK'][0]
'Total' : lambda : fileData['TRK'][1]
And for more complex things define a function:
def complexMap(key):
# do something here
return result
'WeirdThing' : lambda : complex ('WeirdThing')
Then just call the funcyion when needed:
myDatya = map[key]() # parens calls the function

Does what I've shown make sense?
