Difference between tuples and frozensets in Python

Question

I\'m learning Python 3 using The Quick Python Book, where the author talks about frozensets, stating that since sets are mutable and hence unhashable, thereby becoming unfit

Answer 1

One difference that comes to mind is the issue of duplicates. A tuple of (1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2) would be exactly what you expect, but a frozenset would remove all of those duplicates, leaving you with frozenset([1, 2]).
