You might try:

def  public_fn(param):
        private_hash = publicfn.private_hash
        return private_hash[param]

public_fn.private_hash = {'A':42, 'B':69}

(You don't have to assign public_fn.private_hash to a local variable, but 
you might want to, to avoid extra typing, if you refer to private_hash 
more than a couple of times in the function).
