looking for Java final/Ruby freeze functionality in Python

[Antoine De Groote]

Hello,

I've been googling for quite a while now but can't find anything about a
function/keyword to make a list (or something else) immutable. Could
anybody point me to docs about this matter or give me a reason why this
(apparently) doesn't exist in Python?

Kind regards,
antoine

First result from google 'python freeze object':

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0351/

The PEP was rejected but the document contains a link to a discussion
about why there is no such thing in python:
