Is even faster.

The compiler already does this automatically:
>>> def foo():
... KEYWORD_CONSTANTS = {"True", "False", "None"}
...
>>> foo.__code__.co_consts
(None, frozenset({'False', 'True', 'None'}))

The compiler only does that for function locals, right? A module variable could be mutated from other modules.

@auscompgeek You are right, for module level variables the optimization is not performed, so KEYWORD_CONSTANTS stays a set. For the free-threading build the performance difference is measurable:
Python 3.15.0a0 free-threading build (heads/main-dirty:2a54acf3c3d, Sep 1 2025, 14:33:50) [MSC v.1939 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

@eendebakpt I'll accept a PR to wrap all global sets in _pyrepl.utils as frozensets. There's quite a few of them.

I created a bit more general issue: #139003. For _pyrepl I'll make a PR.
