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

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Proposed patch makes mock sentinels supporting pickling and copying. This allows passing them in multiprocessing.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug fix or a new feature.

The patch works only with 3.5+. Older versions need more complex solution.
