InterpreterLocal provides per-sub-interpreter mutable state behind an immutable indirection. When an object graph is frozen, InterpreterLocal appears immutable to the freezer via tp_reachable (which visits only the type and frozen default/factory fields), while each sub-interpreter independently reads and writes its own value through get()/set() methods. Two construction forms: InterpreterLocal(42) - immutable default (frozen at construction) InterpreterLocal(lambda: []) - factory callable (frozen at construction) The type is a heap type created via PyType_FromModuleAndSpec, with per-interpreter storage in the _immutable module's per-interpreter state. This avoids changes to core interpreter structures.

InterpreterLocal provides per-sub-interpreter mutable state behind an
immutable indirection. When an object graph is frozen, InterpreterLocal
appears immutable to the freezer via tp_reachable (which visits only the
type and frozen default/factory fields), while each sub-interpreter
independently reads and writes its own value through get()/set() methods.
Two construction forms:
InterpreterLocal(42) - immutable default (frozen at construction)
InterpreterLocal(lambda: []) - factory callable (frozen at construction)
The type is a heap type created via PyType_FromModuleAndSpec, with
per-interpreter storage in the _immutable module's per-interpreter state.
This avoids changes to core interpreter structures.
