compat-sentinel
PEP 661 sentinel for Python 3.10 and later.
On Python 3.15 and later, compat_sentinel.sentinel is the builtin. On older
interpreters it is a local implementation with the same constructor, copy
behavior, and pickle lookup.
from compat_sentinel import sentinel
MISSING = sentinel("MISSING")
DEFAULT = sentinel("DEFAULT", repr="<default>")
Each call returns a new object. A sentinel pickles back to itself when it can
be imported from its module under __name__:
MISSING = sentinel("MISSING")
class Box:
SHORT = sentinel("Box.SHORT")
A sentinel created in a local scope and never stored under that name does not
pickle. __module__ is taken from the caller and is writable; pickle uses the
value present at dump time.
