frozenlist¶

A list-like structure which implements collections.abc.MutableSequence.

The list is mutable until freeze() is called, after which list modifications raise RuntimeError. A FrozenList instance is hashable, but only when frozen. Attempts to hash a non-frozen instance will result in a RuntimeError exception.

API¶

class frozenlist.FrozenList(items)¶

The list implements all collections.abc.MutableSequence methods plus two additional APIs.

frozen¶: A read-only property, True is the list is frozen (modifications are forbidden).

freeze()¶: Freeze the list. There is no way to thaw it back.
