Mutable vs Immutable Objects in Python

Everything in Python is an object.
Since everything in Python is an Object, every variable holds an object instance. When an object is initiated, it is assigned a unique object id. Its type is defined at runtime and once set can never change, however its state can be changed if it is mutable.

Simply put, a mutable object can be changed after it is created, and an immutable object can’t.

 

Mutable objects:
list, dict, set, byte array

 

Immutable objects:
int, float, complex, string, tuple, frozen set [note: immutable version of set], bytes
