CONstrained CONtainers: immutable and append-only container subclasses and utilities.

concon (CONstrained CONtainers) provides usefully constrained container subtypes:

• frozenlist

• frozendict

• frozenset - (Note this is a synonym for the builtin frozenset for completeness.)

• appendonlylist

• appendonlydict

• appendonlyset

Examples

>>> import concon
>>> d = concon.appendonlydict()
>>> d['foo'] = 'bar'
>>> d.items()
[('foo', 'bar')]
>>> d['foo'] = 'quz'
