So, use something like

 >>> lcd={
	2:{2:("Enter you choice","Your kredit= %(kredit)3d")},
	4:{2:("Your choice: %(keyboard)2s" ,"%(actKeyboard)-20s")}}
 >>> kredit = 7
 >>> keyboard = 'aa'
 >>> actKeyboard = 7654
 >>> lcd[2][2][-1] % vars()
'Your kredit=   7'
 >>> lcd[2][2][0] % vars()
'Enter you choice'
 >>> lcd[4][2][0] % vars()
'Your choice: aa'
 >>> lcd[4][2][1] % vars()
'7654                '
 >>>
