I've been thinking that hash could be an attribute (or property if it needs to be calculated on-the-fly) rather than the current method call.

Or it could be an easy thing to add to the "won't change" PEP ...

The latter, please.

We apparently need more guidance for when it's appropriate to turn something into an attribute. I don't have time to write that up right now; if someone else can give it a shot, I'd appreciate it; or I'll come back to this topic later.
