I didn't understand the question at all

template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"

def string_factory(values):
    if name and food:
        return template.format(name,food)
string_factory.py 
# Example:
# values = [{"name": "Michelangelo", "food": "PIZZA"}, {"name": "Garfield", "food": "lasagna"}]
# string_factory(values)
# ["Hi, I'm Michelangelo and I love to eat PIZZA!", "Hi, I'm Garfield and I love to eat lasagna!"]

template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"

def string_factory(values):
    if name and food:
        return template.format(name,food)

Hi

First of all, you have to return a LIST. Then you have to loop through your dictionnary becouse you values are a dictionnary and try to use kwargs!

I do not want to give you a code to use but try to start with:

def string_factory(values): new_list = [] for diction in values:

then append your lists using template filled with values... use kwargs :)

Hope it will point you in a right direction
