Well, it kindof is. By combining MappingProxyType and UserDict the
desired effect can be achieved concisely:
import collections
import types
class frozendict(collections.UserDict):
def __init__(self, d, **kw):
if d:
d = d.copy()
d.update(kw)
else:
d = kw
self.data = types.MappingProxyType(d)
_h = None
def __hash__(self):
if self._h is None:
self._h = sum(map(hash, self.data.items()))
return self._h
def __repr__(self):
return repr(dict(self))

In its previous form, the PEP seemed more focused on some false
optimization capabilities of a read-only type, rather than as here, the
far more interesting hashability properties. It might warrant a fresh
PEP to more thoroughly investigate this angle.
