If these two attributes, and hence the dicts, are public, then your

I guess I should have written "immutable among consenting adults."

As far as I know, Python does not support private attributes, so
I guess the dicts are public no matter what I do.  I suppose that
I can implement "frozendict", but I can't think of any way to
enforce the immutability of these "frozendicts" that would not be
trivial to circumvent (it better be, in fact, otherwise I wouldn't
be able to initialize the damn things).

You would initialise them by creating them from a list of tuples (or an
iterable which yields tuples), like with a dict:

>>> dict([(1, "foo"), (2, "bar")])
{1: 'foo', 2: 'bar'}
