I've had this PEP laying around for quite a few months. It was inspired by some code we'd written which wanted to be able to get immutable versions of arbitrary objects. I've finally finished the PEP, uploaded a sample patch (albeit a bit incomplete), and I'm posting it here to see if there is any interest.

My sandboxes need freezing for some stuff and ultimately freezable user classes will be desirable, but for performance reasons I prefer freezing inplace. Not much overlap with PEP 351 really.
