[Python-ideas] Revisiting Immutable Mappings

[George Leslie-Waksman]

Would a frozendict require that keys and values be hashable?

It seems to me that we would need this restriction to make a reasonably
universal frozendict that is, itself, hashable. With this restriction for
the general case, is there still sufficient value for everyone that is
asking for a frozendict?

Without this restriction and without frozendict being hashable, is there
still sufficient value for everyone that is asking for a frozendict?
