You are not really explaining *how* it works, just saying what it does.
What you are doing is sensible iff you have many places where the tuple 
is useful. In the specific case I'd personally just create the tuple at 
the point of use:

> finish = (user_name, prompt)
> likes = raw_input("Do you like me %s?\n%s" % finish)

likes = raw_input("Do you like me %s?\n%s" % (user_name, prompt))

Since it saves the reader referring back to the definition
of finish (which is an odd nanme for user/prompt data IMHO).

But, if you are using the tuple repeatedly then it starts
to make sense.
