How do I hash dicts in Python with type hints?

In Python, hashing dictionaries can be a bit tricky since dictionaries are mutable and cannot be hashed directly. However, you can create a hashable representation of a dictionary by converting it into a tuple or using `frozenset`. Here's how you can do it while utilizing type hints.

This article explains how to hash dictionaries in Python using type hints, making them suitable for use in sets or as keys in other dictionaries.

Here's an example of how you can create a hashable dict:

from typing import Dict, Any def hash_dict(d: Dict[str, Any]) -> int: # Convert dict to frozenset for hashing return hash(frozenset(d.items())) example_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3} hashed_value = hash_dict(example_dict) print(hashed_value) # Outputs the hash value
