All of Python’s immutable built-in objects are hashable, while no
mutable containers (such as lists or dictionaries) are.
Well ok, hashable they're not; but apparently at least dict and list
have id()?
lists and dicts are not hashable, but their types are:
Oh.
hash(dict)
4296155808
hash(list)
4296151808
So just use the type as the key to the dictionary you maintain in your
singleton.
Hmm I have tested it and it seems to work.
But the question is what you use your singleton for.
Well, partly this was for sake of learning; but partially I was thinking
whether singleton as such may be useful for implementing "global queue
of tasks" for worker threads in a large program: instead of handing down
over and over the same reference to the global queue of tasks, classes
or functions could call Singleton() and be done with it.
Or I could make my life simpler and use global variable. :-)
I will soon need to write such program, with remote calls from pyro
(most probably), many worker threads, short-running jobs and
long-running jobs, etc.
