I think this would be better with 'key is always mapped to the same 
value object'. The revised second sentence does not add anything. Some 
Python objects are hashable and some not. There is nothing special about 
frozendict value objects either way. The proper revision of your 
original is "However, frozendict value may not be hashable." Either 
change to that or remove it.
