They're distinct types, but not that distinct:

Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> len(set(dir(set)).symmetric_difference(set(dir(dict))))
38
>>> len(set(dir(frozenset)).symmetric_difference(set(dir(dict))))
31
>>> len(set(dir(str)).symmetric_difference(set(dir(unicode))))
