Tkinter widgets: Write options *and* option tags dynamically from dictionary?

Hello all,
In Tkinter the widgets are created in the form:
wgt = Widget(master, option_tag1 = option1, option_tag2 =
option2,...)
I want to create widgets dynamically. Therefore I have created a
dictionary for the options (well, it is a list of lists of lists which
have this dictionary included, but I will keep it simple here). The
problem is that not only the options are unknown at compile time, but
also the *option tags*. For example in Button(root, text='Hello') also
the *text* option tag should be taken from the keys of the options
dictionary.
This is hardcoded:
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
bt = Button(root, text='Hello')
bt.pack(side=TOP)
root.mainloop()
When I change it to something like
...
dictOptions = {text: 'Hello',....}
bt.config(?)
...
,Python complains that there is no defined symbol text. Also, I
wouldn't know what to write in bt.config(....)
On the other hand, I have tried to write
dictOptions={'text':'Hello'} and compose the string "text='Hello'" on
the fly, but then I built a button with the text "text='Hello'".
So, how can I change the options and the option tags dynamically?
Any help would be appreciated.
ByeBye
Johannes
