For example: http://www.koders.com/default.aspx?s=frozenset&submit=Search&la=Python&li=* >From a cursory look: quite a bit of the found results are from the various Python implementations, and there is some duplication of projects, but it would be unfair to conclude that frozenset is not being used since many of the results do look legitimate. This is not to argue in favor or against frozendict, just stating that there's still a way to search code online :) Eli -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
