Set literal notation will accomplish that, too, for what it's worth.

False

Interestingly, the literal appears to be a frozenset rather than a
regular set. The compiler must have figured out that it can never be
changed, and optimized.

Also, this is the first time I've seen None as a constant other than
the first. Usually co_consts[0] is None, but this time co_consts[4] is
None.
