The Ultimate Guide to Python Programming With Python 3.10 - MappingProxyType

The video tutorial explains how Python's built-in dictionary data type is mutable, allowing value changes through keys. To create an immutable dictionary, the mapping proxy type from the types module can be used. This proxy prevents item assignment, making the dictionary read-only. The tutorial demonstrates creating a mapping proxy and discusses its practical applications, such as creating configuration dictionaries that are readable but not writable.
