freeze(), make any object immutable (Python)

2008-10-04T14:39:20-07:00

Python recipe 576527 by Andreas Nilsson (const, freeze, immutable). Revision 2.

Calling freeze() on an object makes the object immutable, like const in C++. Useful if you want to make sure that a function doesn't mess with the parameters you pass to it.

Basic usage:

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 1

def bar(f):
    f.x += 1

f = Foo()
bar(freeze(f)) #Raises an exception
