[issue20804] Sentinels identity lost when pickled (unittest.mock)

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Personally I think that's a bad idea.  Anything that implies that object identity can survive pickle/unpickle is IMO bad, since pickle is a serialization protocol and in real life (as opposed to tests) the process that does the unpickle is almost always not the process that does the pickle.
