Why does __init__ exist?

[spacether]

Why does __init__ exist for this class?
Should an immutable class do all setup in __new__ and not need to invoke __init__ at all?
My understanding is that yes it should.
For example tuple does not need to invoke init to return back the fully formed instance, it only needs new.

How about moving the __init__ setup into the __new__ method and releasing a new major version with the update?
Hmm doing that might require that the class inherit from tuple or namedtuple to be able to store the hash and dict with type hints.

Hello ! Thanks for reporting the issue.
The init code was not changed since the original frozendict, I will see if it can be improved without impacting the usage and the typing.
