That doesn't follow at all. Why not set a `frozen' flag when your
initialization is complete? Something like
class ImmutableOrderedDict (OrderedDict):
def __init__(me, *args, **kw):
me._frozen = False
OrderedDict.__init__(me, *arg, **kw)
me._frozen = True
def _check(me):
if me._frozen:
raise ImmutableError
And so on.
Thank you for explaining your actual objective, by the way.
