You don't really need a FrozenSet if you're already willing to iterate over this dictionary. You can just use a tuple, which is also hashable.

tuple(d.items())

That depends on the order in which the values are are returned by items(), which you likely do not want.

    >>> tuple({1:2,3:4}.items()) == tuple({3:4,1:2}.items())
    False
    >>> frozenset({1:2,3:4}.items()) == frozenset({3:4,1:2}.items())
    True
