Why does it need to be called at all? {1, 2, 3}.frozen Or even: {1, 2, 3}.f On Wed, Jan 19, 2022, 6:28 AM Steven D'Aprano <steve@pearwood.info> wrote:

My preferred syntax for a frozenset literal would be something like
{1, 2, 3}.freeze()
This requires no new syntax, and can be safely optimized at compile time (as far as I can tell).
I like that, it is similar to a proposal for docstrings:
https://bugs.python.org/issue36906
This would be safe to optimize at compile time, so long as the contents of the set were all literals. And for implementations that didn't optimize at compile time, it would be no worse than the situation now.
Perhaps a better name would be "frozen()` since that doesn't imply an in-place operation like "freeze" does.
