Introduction

Welcome, fellow programmer, to the house of frozendict and deepfreeze!

frozendict is a simple immutable dictionary. It's fast as dict, and sometimes faster!

Unlike other similar implementations, immutability is guaranteed: you can't change the internal variables of the class, and they are all immutable objects. Reinvoking __init__ does not alter the object.

The API is the same as dict, without methods that can change the immutability. So it supports also fromkeys, unlike other implementations. Furthermore, it can be pickled, unpickled and have a hash, if all values are hashable.

You can also add any dict to a frozendict using the | operator. The result is a new frozendict.

Install

You can install frozendict by simply typing in a command line:

pip install frozendict

The C Extension is optional by default from version 2.3.5. You can make it mandatory using:

CIBUILDWHEEL=1 pip install frozendict

On the contrary, if you want the pure py implementation:

FROZENDICT_PURE_PY=1 pip install frozendict

API

frozendict API

The API is the same of dict of Python 3.10, without the methods and operands which alter the map. Additionally, frozendict supports these methods:

__hash__()

If all the values of the frozendict are hashable, returns a hash, otherwise raises a TypeError.

set(key, value)

It returns a new frozendict. If key is already in the original frozendict, the new one will have it with the new value associated. Otherwise, the new frozendict will contain the new (key, value) item.

delete(key)

It returns a new frozendict without the item corresponding to the key. If the key is not present, a KeyError is raised.

setdefault(key[, default])

If key is already in frozendict, the object itself is returned unchanged. Otherwise, the new frozendict will contain the new (key, default) item. The parameter default defaults to None.

key([index])

It returns the key at the specified index (determined by the insertion order). If index is not passed, it defaults to 0. If the index is negative, the position will be the size of the frozendict + index

value([index])

Same as key(index), but it returns the value at the given index.

item([index])

Same as key(index), but it returns a tuple with (key, value) at the given index.

deepfreeze API

The frozendict module has also these static methods:

frozendict.deepfreeze(o, custom_converters = None, custom_inverse_converters = None)

Converts the object and all the objects nested in it, into their immutable counterparts.

The conversion map is in getFreezeConversionMap().

You can register a new conversion using register() You can also pass a map of custom converters with custom_converters and a map of custom inverse converters with custom_inverse_converters, without using register().

By default, if the type is not registered and has a __dict__ attribute, it's converted to the frozendict of that __dict__.

This function assumes that hashable == immutable (that is not always true).

This function uses recursion, with all the limits of recursions in Python.

Where is a good old tail call when you need it?

frozendict.register(to_convert, converter, *, inverse = False)

Adds a converter for a type to_convert. converter must be callable. The new converter will be used by deepfreeze() and has precedence over any previous converter.

If to_covert has already a converter, a FreezeWarning is raised.

If inverse is True, the conversion is considered from an immutable type to a mutable one. This make it possible to convert mutable objects nested in the registered immutable one.

frozendict.unregister(type, inverse = False)

Unregister a type from custom conversion. If inverse is True, the unregistered conversion is an inverse conversion (see register()).

deepfreeze examples

import frozendict as cool

from frozendict import frozendict
from array import array
from collections import OrderedDict
from types import MappingProxyType

class A:
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.x = x

a = A(3)
        
o = {"x": [
    5, 
    frozendict(y = {5, "b", memoryview(b"b")}), 
    array("B", (0, 1, 2)), 
    OrderedDict(a=bytearray(b"a")),
    MappingProxyType({2: []}),
    a
]}

cool.deepfreeze(o)
# frozendict(x = (
#     5, 
#     frozendict(y = frozenset({5, "b", memoryview(b"b")})), 
#     (0, 1, 2), 
#     frozendict(a = b'a'),
#     MappingProxyType({2: ()}),
#     frozendict(x = 3),
# ))

Building

You can build frozendict directly from the code, using

python3 setup.py bdist_wheel

The C Extension is optional by default from version 2.3.5. You can make it mandatory by passing the environment variable CIBUILDWHEEL with value 1

On the contrary, if you want the pure py implementation, you can pass the env var FROZENDICT_PURE_PY with value 1

Benchmarks

Some benchmarks between dict, frozendict and immutables.Map [1]. init(d) means construction from a dict. init(kwargs) means construction from keyword arguments (e.g. frozendict(a=1, b=2)). init(o) means constructor applied to the object itself. init(holes) means construction from a dict with holes.

[1] Benchmarks done using the C Extension with:

• Linux x86_64
• CPU with 4 cores and 8 threads
• Python 3.10.21 compiled with GCC 12, without PGO and LTO. An optimized build of Python would be unfair, since the C Extension has no PGO and no LTO.
• Commands run before the benchmark:

sudo pyperf system tune
sudo cpupower frequency-set -d 3001MHz -u 3001MHz
sudo tuna --cpus=2,3 --isolate

• Benchmark command:

PYTHONHASHSEED=0 taskset -c 2 python -u test/bench.py --seed 0

CV is the robust coefficient of variation: MAD / median.
