Description : immutable dictionary
Frozendict is an immutable wrapper around dictionaries that implements the
complete mapping interface. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for
dictionaries where immutability is desired.
.
Of course, this is Python, and you can still poke around the object's
internals if you want.
.
The frozendict constructor mimics dict, and all of the expected interfaces
(iter, len, repr, hash, getitem) are provided. Note that a frozendict does not
guarantee the immutability of its values, so the utility of hash method is
restricted by usage.
.
The only difference is that the copy() method of frozendict takes variable
keyword arguments, which will be present as key/value pairs in the new,
immutable copy.
This is a new OpenStack dependency.
